St Davids and Fishguard coastguard teams were tasked to the walker, who had a possible broken hip, as well as a land ambulance and an air ambulance.

Coastguards located the walker, stabilised them and kept them warm, luckily an off duty paramedic was also with the walker.

An Ambulance was tasked but due to the rough terrain and the weather conditions it was decided a helicopter evacuation would be best for the casualty.
