The Brecon Mountain Rescue Team was called by Dyfed-Powys Police to support with the rescue of a gentleman in the Elan Valley area.
The man was reported as being exhausted and disorientated. Fortunately, following a search, the helicopter was able to locate the man and rescue teams assisted him.
A spokesperson for the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team said:
“Our second callout of the day for Monday was to a gentleman who had contacted Heddlu Dyfed-Powys Police for assistance in the Elan Valley area.
“The gentleman was exhausted and disorientated and wasn’t able to locate himself. The team did a search of a rough area along with Maritime and Coastguard Agency Rescue 187 and Rusty the dog from Search and Rescue Dog Association South Wales.
“Luckily the helicopter spotted the missing person and extracted him off the hill to our control vehicle. The gentleman was checked over and dropped at a nearby campsite to rejuvenate and was very thankful to be off the hill.
“Remember to be Adventure Smart when out in the hills especially with the incoming hot spell.
