It was a busy day for the Guardia Civil Mountain Rescue Group (GREIM) as on Sunday September 15, as they were called out to rescue two female walkers.
One was a relatively simple affair as the lady was stuck in a rough spot in the Serra del Cavall Bernat, near Cala Sant Vicenç, in Pollença and was quickly helped to safety.
The other however was more complicated as a woman, said to be about 60-years-old, injured her leg when a stone came loose as she was hiking between Estellencs and Banyalbufar and for this rescue the Guardia Civil had to send in a helicopter.
Rescuers gave initial first aid before she was winched into the helicopter which then delivered her directly to Son Espases hospital for more extensive treatment.
