A 75-year-old man was yesterday found alive and well after spending three days in the bush on the Kapiti Coast.

Trevor Mann went missing on Monday after going for a bush walk in the Hemi Matenga Memorial Park in Waikanae.

Searchers found the Waikanae man about 200m from a ridge track about 2pm. The Westpac Rescue helicopter winched him out of the area and he was now getting treatment at Wellington Hospital.
