A body has been found that may be missing British tramper Andrew Wyatt.
Search and rescue teams looking for a British tramper have found a body at the bottom of a 100m cliff.
The body, which last night had still to be formally identified, was discovered below a bluff on Andrew Wyatt's intended route in the Nelson Lakes National Park.
The 41-year-old was
walking the Te Araroa Trail, which links tramping routes from Cape Reinga to Bluff, but had not been seen since December 15 when he left Blue Lake Hut.
The alarm was raised when he did not arrive at the Boyle Village to pick up food, but the search was hindered in recent days by bad weather.
Teams of expert alpine searchers, including a dog team, were yesterday flown into the park by helicopter to begin a ground search for Mr Wyatt, who was not carrying a beacon.
