This runner made some very unwise choices while out for a run in a local regional park, (Lynn Headwaters) which meanders through a valley as it gains altitude up into the local mountains. After getting lost and only dressed in a light jacket and shorts, he survived by taking shelter under a stump and covered himself in moss and was found about 20 hours later by SAR. The overnight and day temps in the area were well below zero and luckily the man survived. Hopefully after this experience, he will make better choices in the future...

Note that there are 2 videos on the right of the page and will take a moment to load even if it says it is not available. The second link on the right, titled "Runner rescued from North Shore Mountains" is a bit shorter but contains some wry commentary by Tim Jones of the local SAR.

This area is one of our preferred places for day hikes as it is close by and the views are outstanding, however people still need to be aware that the terrain and environment up there can be very unforgiving to the inexperienced and unprepared.

This picture was taken last winter and lower down in the valley.
