Three rescues for Brecon Beacons mountain crew

Mountain rescuers in the Brecon Beacons attended three incidents on Tuesday (August 3), all in the waterfalls area covered by the team.

In the first incident, Dyfed-Powys Police asked Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team to help with the rescue of a dog who had fallen around 30 feet over Sgwd y Pannwr waterfall.

A large group of passers-by helped the owners recover German pointer Alfie, and he was taken to a local vet.

The team returned to the Sgwd y Pannwr waterfall footpath to attend the second incident, which saw a woman stumble and suffer a suspected fractured lower leg.

She was stretchered away from the scene and into the care of a waiting ambulance crew.

The rescue team wrote on Facebook: "We wish the lady a full and speedy recovery."

In the final incident of the day, walkers stopped the team's control vehicle to report a companion had gone missing after they were separated while visiting the waterfalls.

The team conducted a search and the man was found safe and well at Cwm Porth car park.
