Little was due to return home yesterday and the alarm was raised when he didn’t show up.

He was found today about 1pm in an area near Valentines Hut.

Little did not need medical treatment, police said.

“Police would like to remind members of the public that when heading out for a hike or a bushwalk, people should have a fully-charged mobile phone, along with additional charging devices,” NSW Police said in a statement.

“Additionally, hikers are urged to take a GPS-enabled Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) and submit a Trip Intention Form with the appropriate agency, such as the National Parks and Wildlife Service.”
