Injured Male, Brecon Beacons ![]()
![]()
Our 85th request for help and 76th deployment of the year yesterday was a request from Dyfed-Powys Police to assist a male walker near the Neuadd Ridge in Brecon Beacons NT/YG Bannau Brycheiniog. The gentleman had injured his ankle after losing his footing and became unable to put weight on it. ![]()
We’re grateful to a group of passers by who helped the gent and his companion off the ridge down the slope but became unable to move him further.![]()

Two of our Remote Rescue Medics were soon with the gentleman assessing his injury and, using one of our protective shelters with heat packs, they applied a splint to his leg with pain relief, while other members prepared one of our stretchers. ![]()

It was then a carry of the gentleman on the stretcher to roadside and car park for his onward transport to hospital for scans on his injury.![]()

Shortly after 9.00pm we were back at base with kit sorted and vehicles ready to go for the next time. ![]()
We of course hope our casualty’s injury isn’t a long term one and send our best wishes for a speedy recovery.
