The search was hampered by poor weather conditions which prevented the use of both the police helicopter and the navy search and rescue helicopter.
Constable Harper said: “after searching a couple of fields [Police dog] Edie detected a scent of something.
“Edie ran into another field, and lying near a boundary hedge was the missing man.
“He was cold, wet and confused but thankfully alive and in not too bad a shape given the fact he had not been seen for 21hours and had been out all night in the poor weather. With the aid of the Coastguard he was taken to an awaiting ambulance and taken to Hospital.”
