A tramper who went missing in Kahurangi National Park has been found alive.
Graham Garnett, 66, had been exploring the Baton/Ellis River area and was expected to return on December 30.
After he failed to do so, a search and rescue operation was launched, involving Land Search and Rescue New Zealand (LandSAR) groups, specialist teams, the New Zealand Defence Force, the Rescue Co-ordination Centre New Zealand, as well as numerous volunteers and supporters.
When he couldn’t be found, the decision was made on January 15 to call off the search.
However today contractors working in the area discovered Garnett sheltering in Venus Hut at around 2.30pm.
