Shortly before 4:30 p.m. Team call-handlers were made aware of a walker with an injured ankle on Cader Idris, the third incident of the day.
With our vehicles and available volunteers underway, along with resources from our neighbours at South Snowdonia Search and Rescue Team, to attend an incident at Lake Vyrnwy, it looked like the injured woman might be in for a long wait.
Fortunately the first incident of the day was closing down, freeing up both Aberdyfi volunteers, and those from Brecon MRT who kindly diverted from their long journey home to provide further assistance.
Coastguard helicopter Rescue936, en route to the casualty at Lake Vyrnwy, was able to divert to Cader Idris to provide a quick pick-off rescue, delivering the casualty to the landing zone at the foot of the mountain before continuing onwards to lake Vyrnwy.
The woman was transported by family and friends to seek further treatment.
