Tramper s lucky rescue in poor weather and fading light

He then found himself in rough, steep terrain in a deep ravine, where he fell off a bluff and set off his beacon. The Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter left to find the tramper just after 5.30pm on Monday and pilot Barry McAuliffe​ said while it was raining with misty low cloud, their biggest issue was the fading light. “I was pretty confident we were going to be able to get up there, but there was always doubt as to whether we were going to be able to get back out again.” The helicopter reached the pair and was able to hover on one skid to pick the uninjured man up. The other man was around 100 metres away on rough terrain. He was on his hands and knees and the flashing light from his beacon was visible.
