A 20-year-old has been found after going missing in Northland bush.
He set off with an 18-year-old friend yesterday around 10am. The alarm was raised when the younger man came out alone at around 1pm.
The man was found at 6pm yesterday, a police northern communications spokeswoman said.
Police were concerned for the man because he was no local, had no warm clothing or food, and was believed to be quite intoxicated.
