Incidents 2007

We received a report from a member of the public that he had seen a red flare in the direction of Porth Ysgaden. We went there and searched the area but could not find anything out of the ordinary. There were no other sightings of flares and as the visibility that night was extremely good and lights on the Irish coast could be seen it was decided that a red light from there could possibly have been mistaken for a flare.

Cafwyd galwad gan aelod o'r cyhoedd ei fod wedi gweld fflêr goch o gyfeiriad Porth Ysgaden. Aethom draw ond nid oedd unrhyw arwydd fod dim allan o'i le yno nac unlle arall o gwmpas. Ni welwyd fflêr arall o unrhyw fath. 'Roedd y noson yn un glir iawn gyda goleuadau o arfordir Iwerddon i'w gweld, a tybiwyd mai un o'r rhain oedd wedi ei gamgymeryd amfflêr.

It was reported that an orange survival suit had been seen on the shore at 'Edern Beach'. We found that it was in Porth Bryn Gwydd and a search of that area was made to ascertain if any other items relating to the suit had been washed up onto the shore. Nothing further was found and so the suit was removed and details passed to our control room at Holyhead Coastguard.

Cafwyd galwad for siwt goroesi lliw oren ar lan y môr yn 'Nhraeth Edern'. Darganfyddwyd fod y siwt ym Mhorth Bryn Gwydd ac aethom ati i chwilio'r arfodir o gwmpas y porth am unrhyw beth arall a allai fod yn gysylltiedig a'r siwt. Nid oedd golwg o unrhyw beth pellach felly aethom a't siwt oddi yno a rhoi'r manylion amdani i bencadlys Gwylwyr y Glannau yng Nghaergybi.

8.9.07
Report of missing divers at Porth Ysgaden. On arrival it was ascertained that two men from a visiting divers' club had set out on a dive starting from the shore but had been carried out further by the tide than they had anticipated. They had surfaced and shouted and waved to attract attention to their predicament. Members of another diving club had seen them from the beach and had decided to help but were unable to start the engine of their inflatable boat so they then set out to paddle their boat to the two divers. They were able to do so and picked up the divers before paddling the boat safely back again to the shore. We met them on arrival and found that they were all well so no medical attention was required.

Cafwyd gwybodaeth fod deifwyr ar goll ym Mhorth Ysgaden. Pan gyrhaeddom yno cawsom ar ddeall fod dau ddyn o glwb deifio oedd yn ymweld a'r ardal wedi nofio o'r traeth ar ddeif ond wedi mynd i drafferthion pan gariodd y llanw hwy yn bellach o'r lan nad beth oeddynt wedi ei fwriadu. Oddiar wyneb y môr gwaeddodd y ddau a chwifio eu breichiau am gymorth. Gwelwyd hwy gan aelodau o glwb deifio arall oedd ar y traeth yn paratoi i fynd allan yn eu cwch rwber. Yn anffodus ni fedrant gychwyn modur y cwch a bu rhaid iddynt badlo'r cwch allan at y deifwyr oedd mewn trafferth. Codwyd y deifwyr i'r cwch a'i badlo'n raddol yn ôl i'r lan. Aethom i gyfarfod y cwch ar y traeth a gwelwyd fod pawb yn iach heb angen unrhyw sylw meddygol.

Two of our team were on routine patrol when they were directed to observe a fishing vessel with a casualty who had been recovered from the sea after falling overboard. He had been in the water for some time and the crew were concerned about his condition so Porthdinllaen lifeboat was launched. The vessel was sighted from our vehicle about two miles off Trwyn Llwyd near Porth Iago. The casualty was transferred to the lifeboat and brought to the lifeboat station at Porthdinllaen where an ambulance was waiting. He was treated at the scene by paramedics from the ambulance service.

'Roedd dau o'r tîm allan yn ein cerbyd achub pan gafwyd neges radio o Gaergybi i fynd i gadw llygad ar gwch pysgota. Ar fwrdd y cwch pysgota 'roedd dyn wedi ei achub ar ôl iddo ddisgyn o'r cwch i'r môr. 'Roedd wedi bod yn y dwr am beth amser ac 'roedd y criw braidd yn bryderus am ei gyflwr felly lansiwyd bad achub Porthdinllaen. Llwyddodd ein bechgyn ni weld y cwch tua dwy filltir oddiar Drwyn Llwyd ger Porth Iago. Trosglwyddwyd y claf i'r bad achub a'i gludo'n ôl i orsaf bad achub Porthdinllaen lle 'roedd ambiwlans yn aros amdano. Cafodd driniaeth yno gan barafeddygon y gwasanaeth ambiwlans.

A person at Morfa Nefyn beach became concerned about the safety of a person who had apparently left a bag of clothes and shoes on the beach. On arrival we were relieved to discover that the owner was a visitor from Guernsey who was fit and well having been swimming in the sea for some time.

'Roedd person ar draeth Morfa Nefyn yn bryderus fod niwed wedi digwydd i rhywun a oedd wedi gadael a bag o ddillad ac esgidiau ar y traeth. Wedi i ni gyrraedd yno 'roeddem yn falch i ddarganfod mai ymwelwr oedd perchenog y bag ac yntau wedi bod yn ymdrochi'n iach a dibryder yn y môr am beth amser.

Report of a 6 year old child missing from Lifeboat Bay, Porthdinllaen. Fortunately the child was located wandering on Morfa Nefyn beach before an organized seach was initiated. The child had become disorientated and had thought the white houses on Morfa beach were those at Porthdinllaen.

Cawsom alwad fod plentyn chwech oed ar goll o'r traeth ger Gorsaf Bad Achub Porthdinllaen. Yn ffodus darganfuwyd y plentyn yn crwydro ar draeth Morfa Nefyn ger y Bwlch cyn cychwyn chwiliad llawn. 'Roedd y plentyn wedi colli ei ffordd gan gamgymeryd y tai gerllaw am dai Porthdinllaen.

Called to Porthdinllaen Point where there was a speedboat in difficulties with four persons on board. Porthdinllaen lifeboat was launched and the RAF Rescue helicopter was also on scene. All persons were recovered from the water, with one needing medical attention. This person was transferred to the helicopter which had landed on the nearby golf course and taken by helicopter to hospital in Bangor. The speedboat which was mostly submerged was towed to safety by the lifeboat. The occupants of the speedboat had been fishing off the point and when they tried to move off they found that they could not start the engine. As the boat was drifting towards the rocks it was taken in tow by another boat but the tow line broke and the speedboat was swamped by a wave. It would appears that only one person was wearing a life jacket.

Galwyd ni i Drwyn Porthdinllaen lle 'roedd cwch gwib a phedwar o bobl mewn trafferthion. Lansiwyd bad achub Porthdinllaen ac 'roedd hofrennydd o'r Fali yno'n fuan iawn hefyd. Achubwyd y pedwar o'r môr gan fod y cwch bron yn gyfangwbl dan y dwr. Glaniodd yr hofrennydd ar y cwrs golff gerllaw a trosglwyddwyd un o'r pedwar i Ysbytty Gwynedd gan eu bod angen triniaeth meddygol pellach. Llwyddodd y bad achub i gael lein i'r cwch gwib a'i dynnu i'r traeth. 'Roedd criw'r cwch gwib wedi bod yn pysgota ger Trwyn Porthdinllaen ond wedi methu a thanio'r injan i ddychwelyd. Pan wnaethant ddechrau drifftio tuag at y creigiau mewn môr eitha' garw cawsant gymorth gan gwch arall a geisiodd eu tynnu i ddiogelwch, ond torrodd y lein a gorlifwyd y cwch gan don a dorrodd ar eu traws. Ymddengys nad oedd ond un person yn gwisgo siaced achub.

Full team called to cliffs between Porth Oer (Whistling Sands) and Porth Iago where a family was becoming anxious about their dog which had wandered over the sea cliff. When we arrived we saw that the dog, called 'Fosters' , was stuck on a ledge near the bottom of a steep100 foot (30 metre) rocky cliff. By means of cliff rescue equipment a member of the team was lowered down to the dog which was then retrieved by winch to the cliff top. It seemed no worse for its mishap and was obviously pleased to be back with its owners. Whether it fell or wandered down to the ledge we shall never know!

Galwyd y tîm i'r clogwyni rhwng Porth Oer a Phorth Iago lle 'roedd ci wedi crwydro o olwg ei berchenogion dros allt y môr. Wedi cyrraedd yno gwelsom fod y ci, o'r enw 'Fosters' , ar silff bron yng ngwaelod creigiau serch o tua 100 troedfedd (30 metr) o uchder. Trwy ddefnyddio offer achub, gollyngwyd aelod o'r tîm ar râff i lawr y graig a llwyddodd gael gafael ar y ci. Winsiwyd y ddau i fyny i ddiogelwch pen yr allt ac 'roedd yn amlwg fod y ci yn falch iawn o ddychwelyd i'w berchenogion. Ni ymddangosai damaid yn waeth ar ôl ei antur ond ni allai ddweud wrthym a oedd wedi disgyn neu wedi crwydro rhywsut i lawr yr allt!

Report of a vessel dragging its anchor in Porthdinllaen bay. It was found to be a 42 foot yacht that seemed to be heading towards Morfa Nefyn beach, the owner being on shore at Porthdinllaen.

Called to Porth Ysgaden where a diver had been reported missing. Two divers had been undertaking a shore dive (i.e. not from a boat) when they became separated. The more experienced diver had surfaced and became anxious when there was no sign of the second diver. He made his way back to his vehicle from where he contacted the Coastguard. Fortunately, shortly after we arrived, the missing diver was seen fit and well on nearby rocks. She was checked over by a paramedic from the RAF helicopter which had just arrived.

Galwad i Borth Ysgaden yn dilyn adroddiad fod deifiwr ar goll. 'Roedd dau ddeifiwr wedi cychwyn gyda'i gilydd ar ddeif o'r lan yn hytrach nag oddiar gwch, yn agos i'r porth. Wedi colli golwg o'u gilydd daeth un ohonnynt i'r wyneb. Daeth yn bryderus am y llall ac ar ôl dychwelyd i'r lan cysylltodd â Gwylwyr y Glannau. Yn ffodus, yn fuan ar ôl i ni gyrraedd Porth Ysgaden gwelwyd yr ail ddeifiwr ar y creigiau gerllaw. 'Roedd yn hollol iawn meddai gan fethu deall pam fod cymaint o ffwdan. Glaniodd hofrennydd o'r Fali a cafodd parafeddyg olwg sydyn arni.

The full team was called to Nant Gwrtheyrn following a report that walkers had fallen and had sustained injuries. On arriving there we found that one walker had reached the village and the other was still stranded on the scree slopes in the middle of the old quarry workings. Both were German tourists walking the coastal path and had fallen after getting into difficulties when they tried to take a short cut through the quarry. Two team members managed to reach the stranded walker who was bleeding from cuts on his face. The RAF helicopter was also on scene in spite of low lying fog and the casualty was lifted from the scree slope to our vehicle near Caffi Meinir from where he was taken to an ambulance waiting in the top car park. After minor treatment it was found that the walkers had only superficial cuts and did not require further attention although they had had rather a fright.

Aeth y tîm i Nant Gwrtheyrn yn dilyn galwad fod dau gerddwr wedi disgyn a brifo. Wedi cyrraedd yno gwelwyd fod un cerddwr wedi cyrraedd Caffi Meinir ond fod y llall yn methu symud oddiar y sgri serth yn nghanol y chwarel. Dau o ymwelwyr o'r Almaen oeddynt, yn cerdded rhan o lwybr arfordirol Llŷn ac wedi mynd i drafferthion a disgyn wrth geisio torri ar draws y chwarel yn hytrach na dilyn y llwybr i lawr i draeth y Nant. Gallodd dau o'r tîm gyrraedd y cerddwr ar y sgri a oedd yn gwaedu o gwmpas ei wyneb. Yr oedd braidd yn niwlog ond llwyddodd hofrennydd yr awyrlu o Fali godi'r claf a'i gludo i'n cerbyd ger Caffi Meinir. O'r fan honno aethpwyd ag ef i ambiwlans oedd yn aros yn y maes parcio ym mhen y Nant. Ar ôl triniaeth yn yr ambiwlans gwelwyd mai mân anafiadau oedd gan y cerddwyr ac nad oedd angen sylw pellach er eu bod wedi cael dipyn go lew o fraw.

North Wales Ambulance control requested assistance in respect of a call they had received regarding a woman who was suffering with chest pains on the Llyn Coastal Path near the farm of Berth Aur in Penllech. When we arrived we found that the 65 year old woman had been walking the path with a group of ramblers. She was lying on the ground part way down a steep grassy slope above the cliffs. The air ambulance was grounded because of low visibility and the RAF helicopter was not available. The woman was made comfortable and attended by two of our team members who are Ambulance First Responders. An ambulance based at Blaenau Festiniog arrived at the farm and the crew were brought to the scene in a 4 WD vehicle as the terrain was judged unsuitable for the ambulance. They gave medical attention to the woman who had to be carried up to level ground and transferred to the ambulance in our rescue vehicle. She was subsequently taken to Ysbytty Gwynedd in Bangor.

Nid oedd yr ambiwlans awyr yn gallu hedfan oherwydd niwl ac nid oedd hofrennydd yr awyrlu ar gael chwaith. Gwnaed y ddynes yn gyfforddus gan y tîm a oedd cynnwys dau aelod sydd hefyd yn Ymatebwyr Cyntaf i'r gwasanaeth ambiwlans. Daeth ambiwlans a leolir yn arferol ym Mlaenau Ffestiniog i fuarth y fferm a cludwyd y criw i safle'r claf mewn peiriant 4WD gan nad oedd y caeau yn addas i ambiwlans ddreifio arnynt. Rhoddwyd gofal meddygol i'r ddynes cyn ei chario i fyny'r llethr glas ac yna'i throsglwyddo yn ein cerbyd ni i'r ambiwlans ac yna i Ysbytty Gwynedd.
