Wilderness Search and Rescue (WSAR) was called into action after a mountain biker was injured on one of the Western Cape’s most technical tracks.
A small team on board the Western Cape Department of Health & Wellness EMS / Air Mercy Service rescue helicopter was flown to Hoogekraal Farm near Durbanville after the rider fell and injured himself on Sunday afternoon.
According to Trailforks, the trail is rated as ‘black diamond’ and is revered for its tight switchbacks, rock gardens and a tricky rock slab into a tight corner.The rescue team was hoisted down to a point close to the injured mountain biker. Meanwhile, rescue teams were dispatched to Theresa Avenue above Camps Bay on Sunday afternoon after a hiking group reported that one of their members had injured herself while scrambling up the Porcupine Anvil route.Unable to continue and in significant pain, a call was made to the emergency number.
‘We’ve seen an increase in the number of calls in the past two weeks,’ said WSAR spokesperson, David Nel.
