Brecon Mountain Rescue Team received a double callout over the weekend of February, 15 and 16.

On Saturday, February 15, the team were called out by colleagues from Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team to assist with the search for a couple of walkers who had reported themselves lost near Cribyn in Bannau Brycheiniog.

At the time, the team had difficulties making contact with the walkers so they were asked to prepare to deploy form the north end of the gap road up towards Cribyn.

Central Beacons team were able to make contact with the missing couple and found that they had made their way South Down the gap road towards the Neuadd. Brecon team were stood down once the missing persons had met up with colleagues from Central Beacons.

The following day, the team were contacted by Dyfed-Powys Police having received a 999 call that had gone initially to the fire service. A female had failed to make contact with her partner near Usk reservoir and had phoned for assistance.

She had a very poor phone signal and when she dialled 999 she ended up being put through to fire service.

The incident controller being unable to contact either the missing female or her partner dispatched the bulk of the team to her last known position and and another team member to the partners last known position.

Whilst the team were deploying the incident controller was able to make contact with the female who had met up with her partner with the help of another walker. They were then on their way home. The team was stood down.

A spokesperson for the rescue team said: “Remember if you need the assistance of mountain rescue - call 999 and ask for the police and then mountain rescue.”
