At around 2:30 p.m. the Team was called to assist a 77 year-old man initially thought to be suffering a stroke in the Berwyn Mountain’s above Lake Vyrnwy. Due to the remote location and the potentially serious condition described in the initial details, Team call-handlers made a request for support from North East Wales Search and Rescue (NEWSAR). Our neighbours at South Snowdonia Search & Rescue were also placed on standby. Members of both Aberdyfi and NEWSAR teams jointly deployed to the casualty’s location where First-Aiders undertook a medical assessment. The man’s condition was determined to be a muscular condition rather than a stroke, and the casualty was stretchered to a waiting team vehicle before being transported down the off mountain. All team members were off the hill by 6:30 p.m.
