With the blackness of night setting in, Andy McCallum and Jim Moore decided to stay put in the Akatarawa forest on a cold Sunday night with one thought: “Bugger”.

The pair of motorbike riders have talked of their overnight ordeal after being found on Monday morning.

Moore said the pair regularly did the ride in the forest near Upper Hutt, but the night came too fast on Monday and they elected to stay the night.

They had packed an emergency position-indicating radio beacon (Epirb), but had not read up how to use it before heading out and couldn’t make it out in the dark.
“The Epirb would have been much handier if I used it properly,” he said.
