Quick drink break on the way up with Kyal and the team with a fantastic view.

Its been a busy weekend for the Taranaki landSAR team with a couple of jobs on. A crew headed to Mt Damper for 3 days to clear/cut and remark the Mt Damper track. While that was happening a call came in and rest of the team handled that with a successful outcome. Heres a picture
with Matthew Levings on the recent search. Matt was tasked with walking the river and spent most of the time up to his knees in water, but it takes more than that to wipe the smile from Matt’s friendly face.

A couple of LandSAR team members headed out this morning to the Holly Hut area to assist an ACR team of 3 that had extracted a couple of climbers that had injured themselves above the Hut. The ACR team encountered some extremely cold and icy conditions during the night/morning. Well done to both teams.

Another successful Land Search & Rescue task completed Saturday afternoon.Two team members got the call just after 7pm to say that there was a person that couldn't find their way back to the track and were in thick bush. They walked in, located her using a grid reference that the police had provided and whistles/voice appeal. It was great they found her in good spirits for the walk out, which was quite challenging due to the terrain and bush density where she was.

This morning two Landsar girls went out with Jo and Andy from Adventure Lens NZ. Andy was videoing scenes to create a river crossing safety video. Thank goodness the water wasn’t freezing cold!

Over the weekend a group of our team headed up to the Lake Dive Hut site to cut and clear the track up to the around the mountain track on the Taranaki Maunga.
To our delight two of our team members who couldn’t make it, Alex Robertson and Talia Paul Kowalewski traipsed all the way up the Kapuni Lodge to drop of our Uber Treats!
