An injured kayaker has been rescued from the Whakarira Gorge,
near Hokitika, after spending the night in the bush with a
friend.
The 23-year-old was taken to Greymouth Hospital with a
dislocated shoulder.
A third member of their party had paddled out to raise the
alarm yesterday but a rescue helicopter could not find them
before nightfall.
