Amser prysur efo dwy o alwadau cyn penwythnos y gŵyl banc / busy period with two callouts before the bankholiday weekend:

27/4/26 - cafodd y tîm ei galw allan i gynorthwyo dyn a oedd o wlad yr Iseldir. Roedd wedi torri ei ffêr yng Nghoed y Brenin. Caeth y dyn ei drawsglwyo i gerbyd ei ffrindiau ac wedyn i'r ysbyty.

27/4/26 - the team was called out to help a man from the Netherlands who had broken his ankle in Coed y Brenin. The man was transported to his friend's vehicle and then to hospital.

29/4/26 - cafodd y tîm ei galw allan i helpu dyn oedd wedi syrthio o wal uwchben Bontddu. Roedd y tir yn heriol iawn ond cyrhaeddodd y tîm cyn gynted â phosib i'r safle. Roedd y dyn wedi anafu ei ffêr, felly ar ôl ei osod mewn stretsier, cafodd ei gario allan i'r fferm agosaf mewn cerbyd y tîm cyn mynd ymlaen i Ysbyty Gwynedd efo ei ffrind.

29/4/26 - the team was called to help a man who had slipped from a wall above Bontddu. The ground was challenging but the team arrived as quickly as possible to the location. The man had injured his ankle so the team packaged him in a stretcher and carried him out to the nearest farm and the team's vehicles and then onwards to Ysbyty Gwynedd with his friend.

Rydym yn dymuno gwellhad buan i’r ddau ohonyn / we wish both casualties a speedy recovery.

🏔️ Hyfforddiant Sgiliau Gaeaf / Winter Skills Training 🏔️

Aeth y tîm ar daith ddiweddar i Aviemore yn yr Alban i ddysgu a datblygu sgiliau gaeaf hanfodol. Yn ystod y daith, roeddent yn ymarfer sgiliau fel defnyddio cramponau a bwyell iâ, cerdded yn ddiogel ar dir rhewllyd, hunan-atal (self-arrest), ac asesu peryglon eirlithriadau. Roedd y profiad yn gyfle gwych i feithrin hyder, cryfhau gwaith tîm, a mwynhau tirweddau anhygoel y gaeaf. Trip da iawn! /

The team recently went on a trip to Aviemore in Scotland to develop and learn essential winter skills. During the trip, they practiced skills such as using crampons and ice axes, moving safely on icy terrain, self-arrest techniques, and assessing avalanche risk. The experience was a fantastic opportunity to build confidence, strengthen teamwork, and enjoy the incredible winter landscapes. A good trip all round!

📌 Hyfforddiant / Training 28/03/26

Fel arfer mae’r tîm yn hyfforddi ar nos Fercher, ond weithiau rydym yn cynnal diwrnod hyfforddi cyfan i ddatblygu mwy o'n sgiliau. Cynhaliwyd y sesiwn hon ar ddydd Sadwrn ger Llyn Gelli Gain fel senario realistig, a chafwyd i’w redeg fel galwad go iawn.

Roedd y senario yn cynnwys dyn ar goll, ac ar ôl dod o hyd iddo, aseswyd ei fod ag anaf posibl i’r asgwrn cefn, wedi torri top ei goes, ac anaf posibl i’r pelfis. Diwrnod hyfforddi gwerthfawr iawn i’r tîm. /

The team usually trains on Wednesday evenings, but occasionally we run full-day sessions to develop a wider range of skills. This session took place on a Saturday near Llyn Gelli Gain as a realistic callout scenario.

The exercise involved a missing person, and once located, the casualty was assessed with a suspected C-spine injury, broken femur, and suspected pelvic injury. A valuable day of training for the team.
