An End Of January Update:Today (Sunday 1 Feb) brought us our first Callout of the new month. More of that in a later post, for now let’s take a look back on January. January gave us 22 requests for help to which our Incident Controllers deployed team members to 14 of those. Throughout the month we’ve deployed to both the Central Area and Waterfalls Country of Bannau Brycheiniog - Brecon Beacons - National Park and the mountain tops overlooking both the Rhondda Valleys. Persons unsure of their position in low cloud and mist, injured persons from slips, trips and falls have been the people we’ve dealt with.It’s easily remembered that January ‘26 started with lots of snow and ice, followed by seemingly non stop cloud and rain. We’ve been out in all the weather maintaining our training levels, we’ve welcomed our 2026 new team members with their introductions to team life and the background work has continued to ensure our vehicles and equipment remain operational ready. A very busy start to the year for us and we look forward to seeing what February will bring. Our continued thanks and huge appreciation for all the support we get from our families, friends and supporters. ... See MoreSee Less
