Saturday lunchtime working with Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust and MedserveWales to a lady walker on Caerphilly Mountain who’d slipped and sustained an open fracture of her ankle. With very careful handling and stretcher carrying we soon had her in the back of an ambulance and on her way to hospital. ![]()

Sunday morning, a 0900am journey to the Neuadd Valley in Bannau Brycheiniog - Brecon Beacons - National Park for a strained hip and leg problem high up on the valley’s ridge line. With help from our colleagues at Brecon Mountain Rescue Team and with our stretcher on the mountain close by in case needed, after full assessment by one of our Medical Technicians we were able to support the lady slowly and carefully walking off the ridge line into the valley then to the roadside for her onward transport to hospital. ![]()

2025 was our busiest year in our history for being called out and we’re even busier at the moment than we were at the this time last year. We await with interest to see what happens next into quarter 2!
