At around 5:50 p.m. a request was made for the Team to assist a WAST ambulance crew in dealing with a 76 year old woman with a suspected broken ankle just below the summit of Bird Rock near Tywyn.
The ambulance crew had walked up to attend to the woman, part of a family group, but needed equipment and assistance to extract the woman back down to the waiting ambulance. Team volunteers brought up stretcher equipment to the incident scene and were able to use a wheeled stretcher on the rough track down off the hill. Everyone was back at vehicles by 7:40 p.m.
