Training ⛑️ The Rope Technicians spent the day at Barmouth Slabs looking at abseiling and ascending techniques. It’s essential that the team can move up or down the rock face quickly and safely during a rescue to enable them to access a casualties location. [Cymraeg i ddilyn]

Training ⛑️ Last night's training scenario was an injured runner on difficult terrain below Cadair Idris, accompanied by a distressed family member who also had a minor injury. It is important for the team to consider the bigger picture on rescues.

During today’s call out (details to follow) one of our remote medical technicians made time to assist an injured dog on the Minffordd Path. We hope the poorly pooch makes a speedy recovery 🐾 #aberdyfisart #northwales #mountainrescue #volunteers #nwmra #wales #mrew

If you found yourself in trouble in the mountains, would you know what to do? Ring 999, ask for the Police and then Mountain Rescue 🚨 Pe byddech chi’n mynd i drafferth yn y mynyddoedd, fyddech chi’n gwybod beth i’w wneud? Deialwch 999, a gofyn am yr Heddlu, yna Achub Mynydd

We are pleased/relieved to note that he remains an active member and assures us that he will still be "found drinking coffee in Mobile 1." The position of Chair has been taken on by Ian P, and we wish him all the best in his new role. Big boots etc. etc. Diolch yn fawr Dave

A poignant moment at last nights AGM as Dave W stood down as chair of the Team. DW is our longest serving member by a country mile, and spent at least 45 years in the role of either Leader or Chair of the Team.

Why not set up a monthly payment, and for as little as £3 per month you help to keep us equipped to carry out these extreme rescues. You can do this via the donate button, or better still set up a monthly BACS transfer to avoid the Paypal fees. aberdyfi-sart.org.uk/donatio…

Kate and Sam Hill chat about his epic Spine Race; they discussed his kit, sleeping patterns, and about his fall and subsequent nail-biting wait to see if he would be allowed to continue. Watch it via our Youtube channel: youtu.be/mSg6g0YczGo?si=rOGf…

Just when we were starting to think we had gotten away with a quiet Bank Holiday weekend.... Big thanks to @sssarteam for providing a brilliant response and to Rescue 936 saving us a very long stretcher carry from the summit. aberdyfi-sart.org.uk/callout… aberdyfi-sart.org.uk/callout…
