A couple were walking in Elle Bank wood above the campsite in Hayfield, when the lady slipped and injured her ankle. We were able to confirm their location using SARCALL PhoneFind, which placed them on the path near the top of the wood. Fortunately we were able to drive close to the top of the woods using local farm tracks. This meant it was a only short stretcher carry back to our vehicles, before heading on to hospital.
