Hi Everyone,
I'm a newbie to UKC (despite lurking under a previous log on for awhile!). Apologies for my first posting being a request for help, I know it's bad form, but a friend of mine's father is missing on Snowdon
I know it's a total longshot, but I just thought I'd post on here in case anyone has seen anything or can help at all. I appreciate the chances are minimal but I just thought I'd ask.
In reply to stupidgirl45: In what way is it bad form to try every avenue to find a missing person? you have done only what anyone else would do. You do not have to apologise.
I unfortunately cannot help in your search other than to hope he returns safely.
All the best.

Thanks so much for your responses.
His family are so worried about him, I so hope he is found soon
Hopefully someone, somewhere will have seen something....
In reply to stupidgirl45: I hope he is found safe and well, one point I couldn't fathom in the article is that of his distinctive yellow VW Van. Is it missing also and maybe something for people to keep an eye out for ?
Apologies for disappearing - I have a newborn baby who seems to take up *all* of my time!
Thanks for your bumps - and suggestions. I have contacted the news editor to see if they will put it up as news.
I know that SARDA and NEWSAR have been out looking for him.
His van is distinctive but I don't think he had it with him - he took the train to the summit with his photography equipment - and it seems that his whereabouts after that are a mystery.
Many thanks again for your support, it's much appreciated

In reply to stupidgirl45: bump to keep post visible for you.
In reply to stupidgirl45: Hi Becky, very worrying I'm sure for all concerned.
I know that Llanberis MRT and SARDA have been actively searching since he was reported missing. I hope this all comes to a conclusion as soon as possible. Saying that if anyone has any information that they feel may be of use then I am sure it would be well received.
I assume the police are involved,your friend needs to get the cops to trace his vehicle to the Snowden area,if not get then to check ANPR to see if the vehicle / person has moved. Have they triangulated his mobile phone,accessed his bank account for unusual movement etc.
Not telling your friends / cops how to suck eggs,I am sure the cops have done this already.
