The New Year has brought plenty of action for the Team with 3 Call Outs in one week!
1. On 6th January Team members were called to assist in a search for a dog missing underground near Pontycymmer. Burt, a Patterdale Terrier was successfully dug out in atrocious weather.
2. Saturday 8th January The Team responded to a Call Out for two cavers who were long overdue after attempting to do the Daren Cilau - Cnwc through trip. They failed to find the Cnwc entrance and retreated back to Daren Cilau. Team Members were deployed underground and on the surface and fortunately the missing cavers were found in the Daren Cilau Entrance Series crawls, cold and wet but otherwise ok. They were brought to the surface to the relief of waiting family members.
3. Sunday 9th January A caver dislocated his hip near the entrance of Ogof Clogwyn in the Clydach Gorge and SMWCRT members together with Longtown Mountain Rescue Team and the Fire Service brought the casualty out of the Gorge to an ambulance.
A busy start to our year! Donations really help us so if you are able to assist, please give a donation to the Team. Thanks.
