A male walker, in a group taking a winter mountaineering course, slipped on the snow on the descent of Moel Siabod. He sustained a painful ankle injury and was unable to continue. Due to the failing light and very cold conditions 22 Squadron were tasked to assist whilst a ground party set off. Luckily it was a straightforward winch aboard the aircraft and a short flight to hospital for treatment. |

A couple rang for help as they were stuck on the ridgeline above Ffynnon Llugwy in poor visibility. Two hill parties went out to locate them and discovered them close to the top of the zig zags, where they had lost confidence to continue their descent in the snow. They were assisted to easier ground and taken back to the rescue base to warm up. |

13 Jan 2012 12:45 to 13 Jan 2012 15:10 Glyder Fawr cliffs 1 person: Scrambling 11 members attended |
A well equipped male walker became stuck on a ledge whilst scrambling in the Glyder Fawr cliff area. He was unable to safely go up or down so called for help. Two hill parties were deployed but when the casualty was located he was on much steeper ground than originally thought, so 22 Squadron flew in and winched him aboard for a short flight to Oggie Base. The heli then returned for the hill party. |
