A big thank you to Katherine Active First Aid who donated a place on her recent Canine First Aid course to the team.

Teammate Max, who is an aspirant trainee search handler with Search and Rescue Dog Association SARDA Wales and who has an 11-month-old working cocker spaniel, thoroughly enjoyed the day on Sunday, joining 8 others on the course.

“It was a great experience with an excellent mix of practical and theory sessions throughout. We learned about everything from doing a primary survey, canine CPR, and how to effectively move an injured or unwell dog, to wound dressings, snake bites and how to create a temporary muzzle.

A huge thanks to Kath for inviting me to join her course. I hope to never need it but whilst working so closely with SARDA Wales and sometimes having callouts to help injured dogs with Aberglaslyn, I’m sure if I do, it will prove invaluable.”

Diolch yn fawr iawn i Katherine o Active First Aid, a roddodd le i'r tîm ar ei chwrs Cymorth Cyntaf i Gŵn yn ddiweddar.

Mwynhaodd Max – aelod o'r tîm sy'n hyfforddwr chwilio ar brawf gyda SARDA Cymru, ac sy'n berchen ar gi Cocker Spaniel 11 mis oed – y diwrnod yn fawr iawn, gan ymuno ag wyth person arall ar y cwrs.

"Roedd yn brofiad gwych, gyda chymysgedd ardderchog o sesiynau ymarferol a damcaniaethol drwyddo draw. Dysgom am bopeth: o gynnal archwiliad cychwynnol, CPR i gŵn, a sut i symud ci sydd wedi'i anafu neu'n sâl yn effeithiol, i wisgo clwyfau, brathiadau nadroedd a sut i wneud mwsel dros dro.

Diolch yn fawr iawn i Kath am fy ngwahodd i ymuno â'i chwrs. Gobeithio na fydd angen y sgiliau arnaf byth, ond wrth weithio mor agos gyda SARDA ac weithiau gael galwadau i helpu cŵn sydd wedi'u hanafu gyda'r tîm, rwy'n siŵr, os bydd angen, y byddant yn amhrisiadwy."

Earlier this year, the team were called to a very different kind of callout altogether… One on screen!

Back in May we were invited by S4C to get involved in an episode of Rownd a Rownd.

It was a little different from our usual callouts, but great fun to be involved and a brilliant opportunity to see what goes on behind the scenes of the show.

A big thank you to S4C for inviting us along and giving the team the opportunity to be part of it!

You can watch the episode here: https://www.s4c.cymru/clic/programme/947718764

Yn gynharach eleni, galwyd y tîm i alwad allan wahanol iawn… Un ar y sgrin!

Yn ôl ym mis Mai cawsom ein gwahodd gan S4C i gymryd rhan mewn pennod o Rownd a Rownd.

Roedd ychydig yn wahanol i'n galwadau allan arferol, ond yn hwyl fawr i fod yn rhan ac yn gyfle gwych i weld beth sy'n digwydd y tu ôl i lenni'r rhaglen.

Diolch yn fawr iawn i S4C am ein gwahodd ni draw a rhoi'r cyfle i'r tîm fod yn rhan ohoni!

Mountain rescue is much more than just callouts.

To stay prepared for situations in any weather, our team trains every Monday evening.

This is to ensure our skills stay sharp, and we work smoothly as a team.

Last Monday saw the team visiting the Fisherman's path near Beddgelert to simulate a combined water and technical rope rescue from the bank.

The scenario involved extracting an injured party from the river by setting up a traverse line, bringing the casualty over the water, before using a Twin Tension Rope System to bring them safely back up to the path.

17 team members attended training, giving 42.5 volunteer hours.

------

Mae achub mynydd yn llawer mwy na ymateb i alwadau'n unig.

Er mwyn aros yn barod ar gyfer sefyllfaoedd ym mhob tywydd, mae ein tîm yn hyfforddi bob nos Lun.

Mae hyn er mwyn sicrhau bod ein sgiliau'n aros yn finiog, a'n bod yn gweithio'n llyfn fel tîm.

Nos Lun diwethaf, aeth y tîm i Lwybr y Pysgotwr ger Beddgelert i efelychu achubiaeth yn defnyddio sgiliau achub o'r dŵr, yn ogystal â defnydd o systemau rhaff dechnegol.

Roedd y senario'n cynnwys tynnu person anafedig o'r afon trwy osod llinell trawstaith, dod â'r claf dros y dŵr, cyn defnyddio System Rhaff Tensiwn Deuol i'w dod yn ôl yn ddiogel i'r llwybr.

Daeth 17 aelod o'r tîm i'r hyfforddiant, gan dreulio cyfanswm o 42.5 awr yn gwirfoddoli.

⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY MESSAGE – SNOWDON RACE 2026 ⚠️
The forecast indicates warm conditions for race day. We have also experienced warm weather in the weeks leading up to the event, giving everyone the opportunity to prepare and train in similar conditions.

However, you are "responsible" for your own hydration and wellbeing.

There will be water available at a limited number of locations on the mountain course, like there has been for the last 49 years but you must not rely solely on these supplies.

Every runner MUST carry sufficient water to meet their own needs throughout the race.

Please remember / IMPORTANT
- Hydrate well before the race.
- Carry enough water for yourself.
- Drink regularly – don't wait until you're thirsty.
- Know the signs of dehydration and heat illness.

If you begin to feel unwell, dizzy, confused, or unable to continue safely, stop and withdraw from the race. There is no shame in making the right decision. SNOWDON will be there next year and you want to be on the start line!!

This event is organised by a voluntary team who work hard to provide a safe and enjoyable race. Aberglaslyn Mountain Rescue Team will be on the Llanberis path plus 50+ marshals all the way up and down race route.

We will do everything we reasonably can, but we cannot take responsibility for individual hydration or personal race decisions.

YOUR SAFETY STARTS WITH YOU!!!

Please come prepared, race responsibly, and help us ensure everyone gets off the mountain safely and enjoy the experience

Hydrate. Carry water. Look after yourself.

DIOLCH / THANK YOU
TEAM Ras yr Wyddfa NEGES DDIOGELWCH BWYSIG – RAS YR WYDDFA 2026 ⚠️
Mae'r rhagolygon yn dangos tywydd cynnes ar gyfer diwrnod y ras. Rydym hefyd wedi cael tywydd cynnes yn yr wythnosau cyn y digwyddiad, gan roi cyfle i bawb baratoi ac ymarfer mewn amodau tebyg.

Fodd bynnag, chi sy'n gyfrifol am eich hydradiad a'ch lles eich hun.

Bydd dŵr ar gael mewn nifer cyfyngedig o leoedd ar hyd y llwybr mynyddig, fel sydd wedi bod yn wir am y 49 mlynedd diwethaf, ond rhaid i chi beidio â dibynnu'n llwyr ar y cyflenwadau hyn.

Rhaid i bob rhedwr gario digon o ddŵr i ddiwallu eu hanghenion eu hunain drwy gydol y ras.

Cofiwch / PWYSIG
- Sicrhewch eich bod wedi yfed digon cyn y ras.
- Cariwch ddigon o ddŵr i chi'ch hun.
- Yfwch yn rheolaidd – peidiwch ag aros nes eich bod yn sychedig.
- Gwybyddwch arwyddion dadhydradiad a salwch gwres.

Os byddwch yn dechrau teimlo'n sâl, yn benysgafn, yn ddryslyd, neu'n methu â pharhau'n ddiogel, stopiwch a thynnwch yn ôl o'r ras. Does dim cywilydd gwneud y penderfyniad cywir. Bydd yr Wyddfa yno y flwyddyn nesaf ac rydych chi eisiau bod ar y llinell gychwyn!!

Tîm gwirfoddol sy'n trefnu'r digwyddiad hwn, ac maent yn gweithio'n galed i ddarparu ras ddiogel a phleserus. Bydd Tîm Achub Mynydd Aberglaslyn ar lwybr Llanberis, ynghyd â dros 50 o stiwardiaid ar hyd llwybr y ras i fyny ac i lawr.

Byddwn yn gwneud popeth rhesymol o fewn ein gallu, ond ni allwn gymryd cyfrifoldeb am hydradiad unigolion na phenderfyniadau personol yn ystod y ras.

EICH DIOGELWCH CHI SY'N DECHRAU GYDA CHI!!!

Dewch yn barod, rhedwch yn gyfrifol, a helpwch ni i sicrhau bod pawb yn dod oddi ar y mynydd yn ddiogel ac yn mwynhau'r profiad.

Yfwch ddigon o hylif. Cariwch ddŵr. Gofalwch amdanoch chi'ch hun.

Callout

On Thursday 18th June at around 6pm, the team attended their second call-out of the day.

We were requested to assist a young person who was experiencing a medical episode whilst on an expedition in the Beddgelert Forest area. The team deployed three vehicles, with 13 team members responding.

A team reached the group and assessed the casualty, finding that they and their teammates had managed the situation well and that everyone was safe, despite being cold and wet.

Following a further medical assessment, our team members provided jackets and snacks to help warm the group up before escorting them back to the road. There, their care was handed back to their school leaders, with no further medical treatment from the team required.

We were pleased that the incident had been well managed by the group, and we wish the young person a full and speedy recovery.

This rescue involved 13 team members, contributing a combined total of 45.5 unpaid volunteer hours.

Galwad

Ddydd Iau 18 Mehefin tua 6yh, aeth y tîm i'w hail alwad o'r dydd.

Gofynnwyd i ni gynorthwyo person ifanc oedd yn cael pwl meddygol tra ar alldaith yn ardal Coed Beddgelert. Aeth y tîm allan mewn tri cherbyd, gyda 13 aelod o'r tîm yn ymateb.

Cyrhaeddodd un o griwiau'r tîm y grŵp ac asesu'r anafedig, gan ganfod bod y person ifanc a'i gyd-aelodau wedi rheoli'r sefyllfa'n dda a bod pawb yn ddiogel, er eu bod yn oer ac yn wlyb.

Yn dilyn asesiad meddygol pellach, darparodd aelodau'r tîm siacedi a byrbrydau i helpu i gynhesu'r grŵp cyn eu hebrwng yn ôl i'r ffordd. Yno, trosglwyddwyd eu gofal yn ôl i arweinwyr eu hysgol, ac nid oedd angen unrhyw driniaeth feddygol bellach gan y tîm.

Roeddem yn falch o weld bod y grŵp wedi rheoli'r digwyddiad yn dda, a dymunwn wellhad llwyr a buan i'r person ifanc.

Roedd yr achubiad hwn yn cynnwys 13 aelod o'r tîm, a gyfrannodd gyfanswm o 45.5 awr o waith gwirfoddol di-dâl.

Callout

On Thursday 18th June, at approximately 09:45, the team were called out by a concerned Mountain Leader who was guiding a group near Beddgelert. A gentleman in the party had suddenly become unwell, with concerns that he was having a heart attack.

The team deployed a hasty party to reach the group as quickly as possible. Fortunately, our team members arrived on scene at the same time as the Coastguard Rescue helicopter, allowing us to assist with the initial assessment and treatment of the casualty. The team then carried him to the helicopter, where he was winched aboard before being flown to hospital for treatment.

In callouts like this, time is of the essence. Thanks to the quick thinking of the Mountain Leader, who knew how to call for help, together with the rapid response of the Coastguard Rescue helicopter and our own hasty party, the casualty was able to reach hospital as quickly as possible. From everyone in the team, we wish him a speedy recovery.

If you need to call for help in the hills…call 999, ask for the Police, then Mountain Rescue.

Galwad Allan

Ddydd Iau, 18 Mehefin, tua 09:45, cafodd y tîm alwad gan Arweinydd Mynydd pryderus oedd yn tywys grŵp ger Beddgelert. Roedd un o aelodau’r grŵp wedi mynd yn sâl yn sydyn, ac roedd pryder ei fod yn cael trawiad ar y galon.

Anfonwyd tîm ymateb brys i gyrraedd y grŵp cyn gynted â phosibl. Yn ffodus, cyrhaeddodd aelodau’r tîm yr un pryd â hofrennydd achub Gwylwyr y Glannau, gan ein galluogi i gynorthwyo gyda’r asesiad cychwynnol a thriniaeth y claf. Yna cludodd y tîm ef at yr hofrennydd, lle cafodd ei godi i mewn cyn cael ei hedfan i’r ysbyty i gael triniaeth.

Mewn galwadau fel hyn, mae amser yn hollbwysig. Diolch i weithredu cyflym yr Arweinydd Mynydd, a oedd yn gwybod sut i alw am gymorth, ynghyd ag ymateb sydyn hofrennydd achub Gwylwyr y Glannau a’n tîm ymateb brys, llwyddwyd i gludo’r claf i’r ysbyty cyn gynted â phosibl. Ar ran pawb yn y tîm, rydym yn dymuno gwellhad buan iddo.

Os bydd angen galw am gymorth yn y mynyddoedd…ffoniwch 999, gofynnwch am yr Heddlu, ac yna gofynnwch am y Gwasanaeth Achub Mynydd.

Mountain rescue volunteers are not only on call 24/7 in their own areas, they are also there to assist neighbouring teams when they need it.

Our thoughts are with the family at this time.

//

Nid yw gwirfoddolwyr achub mynydd ar alwad 24/7 yn eu hardaloedd eu hunain yn unig, maent hefyd yno i gynorthwyo timau cyfagos pan fydd angen arnynt.

Mae ein meddyliau gyda'r teulu yn yr amser hwn.

A massive thank you to Monkeys Fist Explorer Scout Unit for choosing Aberglaslyn Mountain Rescue Team as their fundraising charity.

These young adventurers are preparing for their next mountain challenge, but before they head off, they'll be joining us to put some of their skills to the test with a search and rescue exercise and stretcher carry.

From what we've seen so far, we think they're going to smash it! 💪

We hope you all have a fantastic time in the mountains and make plenty of memories along the way.

A special thank you to Austin and the whole Monkeys Fist team for your support. As a volunteer charity, support like this really does make a difference and helps us continue being there when people need us most.

Good luck, everyone - we're looking forward to seeing how you get on!

Diolch o galon i Uned Sgowtiaid Explorer Monkeys Fist am ddewis Tîm Achub Mynydd Aberglaslyn fel eu helusen codi a***n.

Mae’r anturiaethwyr ifanc hyn wrthi’n paratoi ar gyfer eu her fynyddig nesaf, ond cyn iddyn nhw gychwyn, byddan nhw’n ymuno â ni i roi rhai o’u sgiliau ar brawf mewn ymarfer chwilio ac achub a chludo stretsar.

O’r hyn rydyn ni wedi’i weld hyd yma, rydyn ni’n siŵr eu bod nhw’n mynd i wneud yn arbennig o dda! 💪

Gobeithiwn y cewch chi amser gwych yn y mynyddoedd ac y gwnewch chi lawer o atgofion arbennig ar hyd y ffordd.

Diolch arbennig i Austin a holl dîm Monkeys Fist am eich cefnogaeth. Fel elusen wirfoddol, mae cefnogaeth fel hyn yn gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol ac yn ein helpu ni i barhau i fod yno pan fydd pobl ein hangen fwyaf.

Pob lwc i chi gyd - rydyn ni’n edrych ymlaen at weld sut rydych chi’n dod ymlaen!
