7 December 2019
About 7.30 yesterday the Rescue Coordination Centre was notified of a PLB activation in the vicinity of Benmore Hut.
A helicopter was dispatched - but strong winds prevented it reaching the location.
Police and volunteer LandSAR teams reached the hut about 1.25am and found two men - one with a laceration to his leg.
Medical assistance was provided but he was unable to walk, so extra LandSAR tams were sent to help stretcher him out.
