He was eventually found in south London by Metropolitan Police yesterday morning after spending two nights in his car.
Officers think he might have spent a large part of the time parked in a layby or services.
A Thames Valley Police spokesman said: “He got a bit lost but was found safe and well in the early hours of yesterday morning.”
