A tramper lost in dense Northland bush was able to make it home safely thanks to highly skilled and dedicated Search and Rescue teams.
Northland Police Search and Rescue lead, Detective Sergeant Paul Overton, says the tramper, who was on a day walk, had almost reached the summit of Mount Tutamoe before abandoning the effort due to the tough terrain.
“As he was on his way down, he unintentionally wandered off the track and ended up lost.”
The tramper had patchy cell phone reception but was able to place a call through to the Police emergency call centre.
