At around 7:50 a.m., call handlers from Aberdyfi Search & Rescue Team received a request to assist the Welsh Ambulance Service with the rescue of an injured man at the Centre for Alternative Technology, near Machynlleth.
The man, a visitor staying at the site, had gone out for an early morning walk along the woodland trails above the main centre but slipped and sustained an knee injury. Ambulance crew attended the scene and administered first aid but were unable to move the man given the nature of the terrain.
Team volunteers carried the wheeled stretcher to the scene and the man was quickly recovered to a waiting ambulance. Everyone was back at vehicles by 9:30 a.m.
