South Wales is again being hit by some very Moist and breezy weather at the moment.
As some of you might now Sharrie,Mike and myself are members of a mountain rescue team and over the last few months it has been very quiet and no call out until this week end.
Between April 1st and 31st of October hundreds of teenagers are let loose on their Duke of Edinbrugh award expeditions.
Yesterday we had to air lift 6 seventeen yearolds with Lmf out of the middle of the Black mountain above Brynamman, Swansea valley.
Today i was training the guys how to evacuate a casualty and stretcher out of a water fall, we then had a call to respond to Dan Y Ogof show caves. First Twenty teenagers lost and exhausted missing on the BLack mountain only to be followed by two more teams of four lost and soaking wet.
After these where recovered we found four seperate mispers with hypothermia and and all four have to be carried off the hill. The Helicopter has landed at Dan Y Ogof unable to fly in to the mountains. we now have three teams out carrying these guys off in proper sheit weather.
