A very busy day – our third callout of the day!

At 16:32hrs, on Saturday 5th May, the Team was called out to an overdue walker on the Offa’s Dyke Path who had failed to meet up with a friend who had come to pick them up at the end of the walk.  A search strategy was determined and teams sent out when we heard that the missing walker had turned up.  As they had missed their friend, they caught a taxi home. 

The Team was stood down at 17:27hrs.

Immediately after being stood down from 18/12 at Llanddulas OVMRO, who were dealing with an incident in their own area, contacted our First Responder requesting assistance.  After some discussions, it was decided that our assistance wasn’t needed after all.

At 15:15hrs on Saturday 5th May, the Team was called out by Welsh Ambulance Service to assist with an unconscious paraglider on Rhyd y Foel near Llanddulas.  The Team was stood down en route to the incident at 16:16hrs as the Air Ambulance had managed to reach the casualty and evacuate him to hospital.

An article from the Daily Post – http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/2012/05/07/paraglider-pilot-lucky-to-be-alive-after-crash-in-north-wales-55578-30914350/

The team was called out at 15:47hrs on Friday 4th May following reports of dogs barking continuously for some time.  As there was no sign of any people with the dogs, there were concerns that somebody had fallen or was ill.

Our Team Leader was in the area so went with police to have a look around.  He soon discovered that the dog belonged to a local farmer and had run off.  Dog and farmer were reunited.
