and volunteers from Aberdyfi Search and Rescue Team were quickly on the scene
to assess and stabilise the casualty.
An ASART stretcher party was dispatched from Minffordd to carry
down the injured lady, but in the
event the RAF helicopter was able to offer assistance, winching the casualty to
safety and transporting her to Bronglais hospital for further assessment and
treatment.
