A 14-year-old girl tramping in the Kaimai Range had to be rescued by helicopter this afternoon.
The Trustpower TECT Rescue Helicopter flew to Daly's Clearing Hut at 1.45pm where a young girl had suffered a medical condition which required helicopter rescue.
The helicopter was needed due to the hut being about two hours hike from the road and drizzly weather conditions.
The group of hikers activated a personal locator beacon as well as phoning 111.
