Documentary series following the dedicated rescue teams based in the stunning but extreme landscape of Eryri, north Wales. Eryri鈥檚 miles of breathtaking coastline are a place for people to relax and unwind. But if things go wrong, rescuing someone can become a race against the tide. When a walker slips on rocks, fracturing her wrist, she is not only in extreme pain, she is at risk of being completely cut off by the incoming tide. With no time to lose, coastguard rescue teams must work together with the search and rescue helicopter to winch her to safety.

A hot summer鈥檚 day on one of southern Eryri鈥檚 most popular spots, Cader Idris. A walker on a birthday outing with some friends suddenly collapses. He has suffered a head injury, so mountain rescue volunteers must battle the heat and a very steep uphill route to reach him as quickly as possible. They then face a very challenging 2km stretcher-carry to get him back down the mountain.

Some rescues might seem straightforward, but in reality that is rarely the case. When a 72-year-old father and his son find themselves lost in the dark after a long day out in the mountains, team leader Kim hopes he can guide them down in the right direction, over the phone. But with a storm setting in, and the pair still lost, Kim decides to send two small teams out, along different routes, to try to find them. Then, when one of the party takes a tumble and cracks a rib, what looked like a simple rescue suddenly becomes a lot more complicated.
