Kerry Hired a PLB through Taupo PLB Hire Charity (run by the local Freemasons Lodge) , and picked it up from Hunting and Fishing in Taupo, New Zealand. Kerry was given a run don on how to use the unit (was even given a personal address to drop it off to after hours if needed). Kerry and His wife set off into the Kaweka Range. They where a long way from anywhere when his wife slipped and broke her ankle badly. They set the PLB off and within 1/2 an hour was picked up my helicopter and taken to Hastings hospital.
