Galwad
Ddydd Sadwrn 15fed Awst, tua 4:40yp, gofynnwyd i'r tîm gynorthwyo teulu o bump, ynghyd â'u ci, a oedd wedi mynd ar goll wrth ddod i lawr o Fynydd Sygun, ger Beddgelert.

Ceisiodd cydlynwyr y tîm, i ddechrau, arwain y teulu yn ôl i'r llwybr cywir trwy siarad â nhw; ond gan fod y tir serth yn eu gwneud yn nerfus, anfonwyd tîm i'w tywys i lawr yn ddiogel.

Ar ôl cyrraedd y teulu ychydig bellter o'r ffordd, cawsant eu cynorthwyo i lawr. Ar ôl gwirio bod pawb yn iawn, aeth y teulu yn eu blaenau – wedi blino, ond heb ddioddef unrhyw niwed.

9 aelod o'r tîm, 14 awr o waith gwirfoddol

Callout
On Saturday 15th August, at around 4:40pm, the team were requested to assist a family of five, along with their dog, who had lost their way coming down Mynydd Sygun, near Beddgelert.

Team coordinators initially tried to talk the family back onto the correct path, but with steep terrain making them understandably nervous, they instead sent a team to guide them down safely.

Upon reaching the family a short distance from the road, they assisted them down and after a check that everyone was okay, the family went on their way, tired but no worse for wear.

9 team members, 14 volunteer hours

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."

August 28, 1948 – A milestone in mountain rescue history

22/07/2026

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.
