Japanese jogger takes a wrong turn at MacRitchie: Dr Brian Takei, 48, who is the Royal Bank of Scotland's Japan representative, gets lost in MacRitchie Reservoir for more than 18 hours and had to spend the night in the forested area. He was eventually rescued by the police and National Parks rangers.
HE had been to MacRitchie Reservoir to jog, in April. Dr Takei made some detours around fallen trees, only to lose his sense of direction. So Dr Brian Takei, 48, felt nothing would happen to him on his next visit. But just half an hour into his jog on Saturday, Dr Takei, who is the Royal Bank of Scotland's Japan representative, tried taking another route towards the reservoir. It caused him to be lost for more than 18 hours and he had to spend the night in the forested area, scared and alone.
Dr Takei says,
I was afraid of finding corpses and being bitten by poisonous snakes as I kept stepping into holes in the ground. In Japan, it is common to find corpses in remote areas near Mount Fuji as people tend to choose such places to commit suicide.
