At around 1:45 p.m. on Saturday 16th March, Call-Handlers from the Team were made aware of a man with an injured leg on Tarren y Gesail, above Abergynolwyn.
The 64 year old man from Somerset had sustained an ankle injury following a slip whilst fell-running and was unable to load-bear on the injured leg.
A hasty party, which included a Team volunteer who farms land in the area, was able to utilise hill tracks to drive to within a kilometer of the casualty as other volunteers made their way to the incident.
The man's ankle was splinted, and the casualty was stretchered over boggy ground down to the trail head for transport down the hill in a Team vehicle. The injured man was driven to Ysbwty Gwynedd by friends for further treatment.
Everyone was safely off the hill by 5:30 p.m.
