Ever thought of running 103km? Jordan has! And the best part is, he's decided to raise funds for our voluntary team. On the 17th May, he's running 103km/ 64 miles - that's the same as running from Bangor to Machynlleth! But he's also tackling a total elevation of 6400m (6 x Yr Wyddfa!) "I’ll be taking on the challenge of Ultra Trail Snowdonia - 103km with 6400m of elevation to raise funds for the Aberglaslyn Mountain Rescue Team. I chose AMRT because I work around the Porthmadog area and I wanted to make sure that funds raised went back to the local community." - Jordan If you'd like to show your support, you don't have to run 103km, you can make a small donation and he’ll do all the running! Link to donate below! // Erioed wedi meddwl rhedeg 103km? Mae Jordan wedi! A'r peth gorau yw ei fod wedi penderfynu codi arian i'n tîm gwirfoddol. Ar y 17eg o Fai, mae'n rhedeg 103km/64 milltir - mae hynny'r un fath â rhedeg o Fangor i Fachynlleth! Ond mae hefyd yn taclo uchder o 6400m (6 x Yr Wyddfa!) "Byddaf yn ymgymryd â her Ultra-Trail Eryri - 103km gyda 6400m o uchder i godi arian ar gyfer Tîm Achub Mynydd Aberglaslyn (AMRT). Dewisais AMRT oherwydd fy mod yn gweithio o gwmpas ardal Porthmadog ac roeddwn am wneud yn siŵr bod yr arian a godwyd yn mynd yn ôl i'r gymuned leol." - Jordan Os hoffech chi ddangos eich cefnogaeth, does dim rhaid i chi redeg 103km, gallwch chi wneud cyfraniad bach a bydd o'n gwneud y rhedeg i gyd! https://www.justgiving.com/page/jordan-stanford-aberglaslyn-mrt?utm_campaign=lc_frp_share_transaction_transactional_--_donation_received_--_nth_donation&utm_content=45ff2bb8-e576-4daf-9f90-b30db3cd9fa1&utm_medium=email&utm_source=postoffice&utm_term=1741767653868 #fundraising #volunteer #ultramarathon #eryri #Snowdonia (fb)

Callout On Monday 5th May at around 5pm a call came in from walker who had become lost and cragfast on steep, overgrown ground whilst descending from Moel y Gest. The tired walker had tried to find his way back to a path but had become entangled in bracken and bramble causing significant scratches and cuts to his legs. He made the right decision to stop and call for help. The team coordinators were able to use Sarloc Rescue technology to locate the walker, asking him to stay where he was until a foot party reached him. A small team, including Search and Rescue Dog Association SARDA Wales handler John and search dog Barney, were already at base so were deployed to find the casualty. Barney was first to find his way through the undergrowth to the walker, followed by John, alerting the rest of the team as to the casualty's location. Although badly scratched, his injuries did not require treatment so once the Remote Rescue Medical Technicians checked him over, the casualty was given walking poles to help with the descent and brought back to the MR base before dropped off at his car. *** Sometimes things don't go to plan and you need to ask for help. Being prepared doesn't always mean being able to get yourself off the hill, it's knowing when and how to ask for help if you can't. Call 999, ask for the Police and request Mountain Rescue. // Galwad Ar ddydd Llun 5ed Mai am tua 5yp daeth galwad i mewn gan gerddwr a oedd wedi mynd ar goll ac yn sownd ar dir serth wedi gordyfu wrth ddod i lawr o Foel y Gest. Roedd y cerddwr blinedig wedi ceisio dod o hyd i'w ffordd yn ôl i lwybr ond roedd wedi mynd yn sownd mewn rhedyn a mieri gan achosi crafiadau ac archollion sylweddol i'w goesau. Gwnaeth y penderfyniad cywir i stopio a galw am help. Roedd y cydlynwyr tîm yn gallu defnyddio technoleg SARLOC i ddod o hyd i'r cerddwr, gan ofyn iddo aros lle'r oedd nes i barti troed ei gyrraedd. Roedd tîm bach, gan gynnwys un o swyddogion SARDA Cymru, John, a'r ci chwilio Barney, eisoes yn y ganolfan, felly cawsant eu defnyddio i ddod o hyd i'r claf. Barney oedd y cyntaf i ganfod ei ffordd drwy'r isdyfiant i'r cerddwr, ac yna John, gan hysbysu gweddill y tîm o leoliad y clwyfedig. Er ei fod wedi'i grafu'n wael, nid oedd angen triniaeth ar ei anafiadau, felly ar ôl i'r Technegwyr Meddygol Achub o Bell ei wirio, rhoddwyd polion cerdded i'r anafedig i'w helpu i cerdded yn ôl i'r ganolfan achub mynydd cyn ei ollwng yn ôl i'w gar. *** Weithiau nid yw pethau'n mynd yn unol â'r cynllun ac mae angen i chi ofyn am help. Nid yw bod yn barod bob amser yn golygu gallu dod oddi ar y bryn, mae'n golygu gwybod pryd a sut i ofyn am help os na allwch chi. Ffoniwch 999, gofynnwch am yr Heddlu ac yna gofynnwch am Achub Mynydd. #callout #mountainrescue #volunteers #helpingothers #hiking #eryri (fb)
