Group of 10 hunters stuck in Southland

Police are not concerned for the safety of 10 hunters who are stuck in Southland waiting for bridges to be repaired.

A group of hunters are stuck in Southland for a couple of days after a couple of bridges were washed out.

A group of 10 people will camp about 10km north of Piano Flat until Thursday, when it's expected the bridges will be repaired.

A police spokesman said local police do not have any concerns for the safety of the group, who are "well provisioned" for their stay.
