Incident: Saturday 19th September 2026 (Afternoon)

The team was called following reports of a 20-year-old woman who had felt unwell while walking in Dovedale and had become separated from her group.

Contact was established with the walker by phone. She was able to confirm her location and, with some guidance, make her way back to the footpath while team members travelled to meet her.

On reaching the walker, team members assessed her and found that she was feeling much better. She was then transported in a team vehicle through Dovedale and reunited with a member of her group.

Once everyone was safely accounted for, the team stood down.
