An injured man was carried three kilometres down a mountain on a stretcher by a team of rescuers following a fall.
The mountain biker had suffered a leg injury on Bal Bach on the afternoon of July 30.
Gwent Police alerted the rescuers to the man who treated him at the scene before carrying him the long distance down the mountain to wait for an ambulance. Just days later the same team assisted a helicopter rescue off the side of the same mountain.
