A Police search and rescue team have now escorted the missing tramper out of the Tararua Ranges. 

The 39yr old man is fit and well, but very tired after his ordeal. He is currently being returned to his family. 

The Police search and rescue team described the conditions in the area overnight as horrendous - with gale force winds and torrential rain.
