At about 7:30 p.m. call-handlers from Aberdyfi Search & Rescue Team were alerted to two lost walkers on Cadair Idris, one of whom was experiencing problems with an injured knee.

The two walkers, a man and woman in their 20's and from the Birmingham area, had set out from Minffordd earlier in the day, but had become disorientated in poor visibility on the upper ridges of the mountain and had unintentionally descended  on the north side rather than the south side of the range. Their passage through increasingly broken ground had started to aggravate an existing  injury in the mans knee, and when darkness fell they sensibly decided to seek assistance from Mountain Rescue.

Call-handlers were able to deploy the SARLOC application which is able to quiz the casualties smartphones for its GPS location, and got an exact position for the couple. A small party of ASART  volunteers was then able to make their way directly to casualties'  location. The pair were escorted down off the mountain to Gwernan Lake, a slow process given the tussock and gorse-covered nature of the hillside, and everyone was off the hill by 11:00 p.m.

At about 6:30 p.m. on Saturday evening, Aberdyfi SART call-handlers were alerted via North Wales Police and Dyfed-Powys Police to a seriously injured man at Cwmystwyth, south of Devil's Bridge in Powys.

The man was reported to have fallen from rocks on the top of a hill, sustaining a significant head injury which left him unconscious for 10 minutes, and also a suspected  broken leg.  The Team was put on standby but given the seriousness of the injuries and the time it would take the Team to assemble at the location, the possibility of air-evacuation was investigated.

The scene was attended by the air ambulance and a Dyfed-Powys Police support helicopter, but with neither craft having winching capability, and the casualty in a difficult to reach position, the assistance of the RAF 122 Sea-King was sought.

The Sea King was delayed through operational reasons, but still able to attend  quicker than the volunteers of ASART would have been able to reach the scene. At around 8:00 p.m. the man was winched into Rescue 122 and given the potential nature of his injuries, was transferred to hospital in Stoke. The Team was stood-down once he was aboard the aircraft.
