Missing Mountain Flyer Finally Found!

A missing mountain flyer from London, who was missing in the Swiss Alps has been found alive!

Dan Hunt, 33, went speed flying when he was reported missing on Saturday afternoon. He was believed to only have water and a few snacks with him. He was meant to arrive four minutes behind his partner at an allocated landing spot, but he didn't turn up.

Typical speed flying, is when you attach a small wing to yourself and fly down a steep slope. You can reach speeds up to 75MPH! 

He was later found today (Tuesday) after crying for help in a forested area. However he is not believed to be injured. 

Just under £14,000 was raised on a Facebook campaign to help find him. This helped a lot to carry out the search , which was successful! 

This was the top of the run and he was believed to be found somewhere near the bottom
