Two trampers missing in Tararua Forest Park in Wairarapa overnight have been found this morning after being trapped by a slip.
The mother and daughter, aged 40 and 60, set off on a walk in the the Totara Flats area from the Mt Holdsworth car park about 9am yesterday.
However, they failed to show up up at Waiohine Gorge Rd by 5.30pm as expected.
Two search teams entered the park about 10.30pm yesterday and found the pair, about an hour's walk downstream from the Totara Flats Hut, shortly before 5am today.
Inspector Dave Rose of police central communications said the women got caught in a large slip on the track as they were trying to get out.
