A 61-year-old woman had to be rescued by a mountain search team and a helicopter after collapsing at an isolated beauty spot in Gwynedd.

Aberdyfi Search and Rescue Team was called after a road ambulance was unable to reach the woman at Blue Lake quarry, Fairbourne, on the Mawddach estuary on Saturday at 13:40 BST.

Volunteers and paramedics evacuated the woman down to the valley floor to meet a coastguard helicopter.

She was flown to hospital for care.
