This year's calls have been recorded in accordance with MRC requirements, logging each incident where MR resources have been used, even if only to talk to disoriented groups on mobile phones to get them back onto the right track (a method of sorting a problem far superior to dragging our members away from wives, husbands, lovers or even bosses!). Minor incidents, such as calls where we provide only advice, or where we assist members of the public that we happen to come across are not recorded.

The number of team members involved from each team from South Wales is recorded along with the time, the following abbreviations are used;

BMRT - Brecon Mountain Rescue Team
SARDA - Search and Rescue Dog Association
CBMRT - Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team
WBSART - Western Beacons Search & Rescue Team
LMRT - Longtown Mountain Rescue Team
WBCRT - West Brecon Cave Rescue Team
NEWSAR - North East Wales Search and Rescue
