It doesn't does it? Lots on social media about Chris's disappearance, like everyone I'm hoping for the best but fearing the worst.

fingers crossed, but as you say doesn't sound good. Not like it's some mountain newbie who has casually got lost, and it's not a place you'd want to be stuck at this time of year either :-(

It's local to me, a popular circuit of 4 Munros I've walked and ran quite a few times.

Helicopter was out all day yesterday, and first thing this morning, but cloud has come right down now so doubt it will still be able to operate.
If he'd just tripped and injured himself on the standard route I'd of thought they'd have found him yesterday as it's all open ground, so guessing he's got disorientated and is somewhere off route.

So sad, but suppose there's still a glimmer of hope depending how much gear he had with him......

I was just thinking last week that it was time of year to start packing more "just in case" gear for trips in the hills.

my emergency bivvy went back into the bumbag a couple of weeks ago. Today I'm wondering if I can fit my storm shelter in instead!
