At around 11:50 a.m. call-handlers from the Team received a request to assist North Wales Ambulance Service in the extraction of an injured person from a difficult and inaccessible position near Fairbourne.
The casualty, an elderly lady, had slipped on a steep bank and suffered a head injury from the fall at a remote cottage in the hills above Arthog. Both the air-ambulance and a road ambulance were in attendance but neither could get close enough to move the woman. A small party of Team volunteers transferred the lady onto a stretcher and lowered her down the slope to a rough track, from where she was then carried to the waiting ambulance.
