What area do you cover in South Wales?

We mainly cover the Central Brecon Beacons area and South to the coast of South Wales. The total area that we cover is 1437 square km and stretches roughly from Pen Y Fan down to the coast and from the Neath valley in the West across past Newport in the east.

We also work together with the other three mountain rescue teams in South Wales to cover the entire of the South Wales area from Aberystwyth down and from St. David's in the West across to the English border and, in some cases, beyond.

However, the team can be called to help anywhere in the country or even abroad for major incidents. Mountain Rescuers from South Wales helped in the Lockerbie aircraft crash in 1988.
