Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team…
is a voluntary organisation responsible for covering the Central section of the Brecon Beacons including South Wales’ highest mountain, Pen y Fan at 886m, Cribyn and Corn Du as well as the Ystradfellte waterfalls, Newport, Cardiff and the valleys.
Latest Incident
Callout: Thursday 5 December, 3.35pm, 5 hours. Bannau Brycheiniog.
Dyfed-Powys Police requested our assistance to locate a walker who had become lost in low cloud while descending Pen Y Fan.
With no phone contact to pinpoint the walker’s location, we began searching the major valleys and footpaths around the summit, supported by Brecon Mountain Rescue Team and search dogs from SARDA South Wales.
While searches were ongoing, our Incident Controllers continued efforts to establish phone contact. After a few hours, we were relieved to reach the walker, who had managed to find a signal and was safely off the mountain. He was uninjured but understandably cold and wet, and all search teams were stood down.
With #StormDarragh approaching this weekend, we strongly urge anyone heading outdoors to carefully consider their plans. Please heed all weather warnings, adjust your routes if needed, and stay safe. Conditions are likely to be far worse than shown in this footage.

Wow. Just… wow.![]()

A huge thank you to everyone who bought a calendar. We sold out three times and, thanks to your generosity, raised over £3,000 for the team 🤍![]()

We were genuinely blown away by the response - these calendars have travelled far and wide, from Iceland to America and all the way to Australia. Not bad for something that started as a little social media experiment around this time last year.![]()

They took months of planning and design, and we really hope you love them. A massive shout-out must go to Rhys Coombs of R&T Electrical Solutions Ltd, who very generously sponsored 50 calendars, and to Minuteman Press Cardiff, who turned them around at lightning speed and delivered extra stock at incredibly short notice. Because of their support, we were able to raise even more funds - we can’t thank them enough.![]()

If you’re looking for an electrician in South Wales, speak to Rhys. Need printing done? We honestly can’t recommend Minuteman Press Cardiff highly enough.![]()

Thank you all again for the support, the shares, the kind messages - it means more than you know. All calendars have been sent, if you have any queries, drop us a message at fundraisingofficer@cbmrt.org.uk ![]()
