Shortly after 2:00 p.m., the Team was made aware of a man with a leg injury in the crags above the A470 at Bwlch Oerddrws.

Two males from the Preston area were plane spotting and photographing fast jets on the "Bwlch" section of the Mach loop when one stumbled on steep ground,  injuring his left ankle. Unable to weight-bear on the ankle or move safely across the steep ground the men called for ambulance assistance. This request was passed on via North Wales Police as a mountain rescue incident.

A hasty-party deployed to the casualty location to undertake an initial assessment of the injury, and further Team volunteers made their way to the location with a stretcher and additional kit. The casualty was treated with pain-relief and splinting of the injured limb. The man was then loaded onto team stretcher before being wheeled and sledged across and down steep ground to the carpark.

Due to declared waiting time for an ambulance, the casualty was loaded into the car of his friend to be driven to hospital for further assessment and treatment.

​Everyone was safely off the hill by 4:45 p.m.

Shortly after 3:00 p.m. Team call-handlers were made aware of a woman with an ankle injury near Lake Vyrnwy.

With the Team already deployed at Bwlch Oerddrws, a request for assistance was placed with our neighbouring teams at South Snowdonia Search & Rescue and North East Wales Search & Rescue, and inbound Aberdyfi volunteers were also diverted to the second incident.

In the event the Welsh Ambulance Service crew was able to access the woman and the incident was stood down.

At around 3:15 p.m., Team call-handlers received notification of a woman with a suspected fractured or dislocated ankle on Foel Fadian to the south of Machynlleth.

​Team volunteers were dispatched to the location, and our casualty carers were able to stabilise the injury with splinting and to administer pain relief. 

The casualty was transported by stretcher down the hill to a waiting team vehicle, and following  further assessment of the injury, she was driven to the road-side. Friends were then able to transport her to hospital in Aberystwyth for further assessment and treatment. 

Everyone was safely off the hill by  6:45 p.m.

At around 6:45 p.m. Team call handlers received a request from Brecon Mountain Rescue to assist with the search for a high risk missing person in Glandyfi to the south of Machynlleth. Due to associated travel times for Brecon, it was agreed that Aberdyfi SART was best placed to coordinate the response and Brecon Team was stood down. 

Team volunteers, along with members of South Snowdonia Search and Rescue Team and SARDA Wales search Dogs  joined H.M. Coastguard Helicopter, RNLI (Borth and Aberdyfi) along with Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue as part of the multi-agency search response. Shortly 10:30pm the missing person was located by Aberdyfi team members and was assisted back to the road. The Team stood down at 11:00 p.m.
