Thought I would pass this one on, in case anyone planning a Cairngorm
visit soon.
URGENT: Missing Hillwalker, Grant Cunliffe.
Grant Cunliffe, is missing and despite a full search by several
Mountain Rescue Teams and Helicopters he has not yet been found. I
gather he left his sleeping bag at Corrour Bothy having gone through
the Lairig Ghru, which suggests he expected to use the bothy as a
base.
I do not have details of his route but he was due home on Saturday
after a couple of days hillwalking. He has Winter skills and it seems
he had a snow shovel with him so he may have had to dig in. It was
very windy on Saturday so snow will have blown into lee areas creating
some windslab.
The Northern Constabulary have asked that if any member of the public
has seen Grant since last Wednesday (18th Jan) to notify them
immediately on 01479 810222. Please see
http://www.northern.police.uk/News-and-Media/news-item.htm?item_id=PR4115_2012
for more details.
If anyone can post this onto other sites/blogs or forward to others
known to be walking in the area, etc I would be grateful. I have
posted a message onto TGO Challenge Message Board & Emily has put on
TGO's Facebook & Twitter pages."
