There is a point in New Zealand called the “pole of inaccessibility”, which is the furthest place anywhere from a road. And adventurer Riley Meason was near there when a falling boulder took him out in February this year.
Riley was alive, but seriously injured – and literally in the most remote part of New Zealand.
He was bleeding, he couldn’t walk and night was falling.
But Riley and his mate Gabe Ross, who together make up adventure duo “The Weekend Mish” were prepared – they let off an EPIRB emergency beacon and sent a message through an inReach satellite communicator.
New Zealand’s most remote rescue was underway.
