Tony Parsons: Son's TV appeal over missing Tillicoultry charity cyclist
Recent TV appeal for information by his son, Mike. I think this is the first time there's been any public appearance from his family?
One thing which stood out to me from that article:
The West Highland Way is the walking path to the East of the A82 where he went missing. It's not a remote path and is very busy with walkers, even at the time of year when Tony went missing. It does open up the possibility that he knew the area and possibly left the road looking for a shelter or alternative path which he had seen before.
Having said that, if he knew the route of the WHW, then leaving from the Bridge of Orchy hotel on the main road is likely a deliberate decision and not simply a missed turnoff for the WHW and less likely that he'd try to find a shortcut onto it later.
