We had one incident last year and it seems as though the north Wales teams had a tough time of it last night with 8 team members injured in a successful attempt to rescue two injured climbers from the slopes of Snowdon.

I’ll be raising my glass to them and hoping they all recover fully.

We had an area call in the Neath valley for a young lady with a dislocated patella. In the pouring rain, I helped carry off the young girl, everything else was pretty much taken care of. Not much more to say than that really, nice job for us – lower leg injuries are bread and butter for us being about 60% of our calls if I remember correctly. Still, not bad, 3 hours from the pager going off to getting back
