An 80-year old hiker who went missing in England reunited with his family on Tuesday — by crashing a news conference his loved ones planned over his disappearance.

Harry Harvey was split from his hiking partner during a hail storm in Northeast England’s Yorkshire Dales on Saturday and officially declared missing the following afternoon.

More than 100 members of the Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team had been searching days for Harvey. He was feared dead when he was spotted on the trails by a wildlife photographer, who alerted rescuers, CNN reported.

Harvey then called his wife to let her know he was safe. He was rushed to the press conference about to start at a country pub called The Tan Hill Inn, where his family was going to ask for help to locate him.

While his family was terrified, Harvey regaled the local media with a survival adventure against “howling gales and winds” during a Facebook live post on the pub’s page.

“I had three really good wild camping nights where I was on my own and had all the kit I needed,” Hevery said as he sat by the pub’s fire.

“The only thing I was getting a bit short of was, I’ve got a hell of an appetite and when I get hungry I’ve got to get something to eat or I can’t go on,” he added.

Harvey had a large bandage on his forehead, which he explained was treating an injury he said he suffered when he fell off a bridge and lost his compass.

Harvey’s son, Phil,  joked that his dad was now “grounded” and would have to take up a safer hobby, like bowling.

“He’s had a blast, we’ve had a nightmare,” Harvey’s daughter-in-law added.

Harvey said he regrets causing so much worry among his family

“If I had known there had been all this fuss I would have made my own way home,” he added. “It is not my scene at all to have a fuss.”
