I don't think they were friends and family, for the reason that they were standing about looking relaxed and some of them grinning. Agree about the river looking far bigger than perhaps some of us imagined it to be.
Yeah he hasn't come across that well. I've not seen any stats but he says his hit rate is excellent with this equipment. Bounds in, says he'll find her, if there, in minutes, a day. If that happens he looks great. If not, he goes on his merry way and if she does turn up, well then there are numerous variables as to why not.
‘If we can’t find Nicola Bulley in next three to four days, she’s not here,’ says rescue firm chief
The head of the specialist diving company joining the search appears to have sought to temper expectations somewhat, shortly after appearing to suggest that his team’s sonar equipment could find Nicola Bulley within minutes if her body is in the River Wyre.
“We are dealing with about 10 drownings every summer. We always locate within the hour,” Peter Faulding told the paper.
But shortly after arriving in St Michael’s on Wyre, Mr Faulding told reporters that it was a “particularly long” stretch of river to search and that his team was bringing a "back-up resource" for the police.
He added: “If we can’t find her in the next three or four days in this river, if she’s not here, then I’m confident that she’s not in this stretch of river. I’d be very confident of that.
“We are going to be working our hardest, we’ll probably be working under darkness tonight for a while and that’s my intention to help the family.”

Nicola Bulley conspiracy theories condemned amid river search – latest
Police believe that the mother of two fell into the River Wyre while walking her dog nearbywww.independent.co.uk
They will have had to travel from their base in Dorking which is over 250 miles from St Michael's.
The kids were at school and hubby at home, so I'm not sure who would check on the dog. When I walked a dog, I didn't pay a lot of attention to other dogs. Others passing that way would quite likely have ignored a dog on its own. If you're out on a common or in the woods and you see a dog on its own, you just assume the owner was elsewhere.
Is there not a river route? He could travel that distance in minutes if his equipment is in super scan mode.
Great postI think it's- potentially - a bit irresponsible saying on national TV & with a distraught family listening that ...
‘If we can’t find Nicola Bulley in next three to four days, she’s not here’
what if they don't find her in 3-4 days? ( personally, I trust & hope that they/any of the teams will find her soon)
Here's a search he was previously involved with, Mary Yap.
'Police believe the 72-year-old mum-of-four, who went missing from Malvern on November 18, was last seen on Powick bridge over the River Teme.' ( In early December Peter Faulding's company went into help but they did not find her. )
Mary Yap search: Rescue team deploys high frequency sonar to scan river

If his team doesn't have any success, and he continues to offer his opinions on the case, he needs to be publicly told to shut up, and go home. The media are to blame as much as he is, the days of proper journalism ended a long time ago.
Good spot - it turns right at the end of this pic and goes behind The Grapes and joins the Riverwalk about 2-300m down from the Blackpool Lane riverside entrance. It also links up with Allotment Lane (you can see the last bit of this on google maps)
I notice she has a bottle of water. I wonder if she took that on her walkPlease forgive me if this has already been mentioned. Im struggling to keep up with thread due to the many repetitive comments.
I note that the description of Nicolas clothing broadcast in MSM on the early days of her going missing are stating that her jackets / outer clothing were black and her jeans were black.
However, the doorbell camera stills clearly show that she is wearing Blue olm, ,uterclothing and Blue denim jeans.
This reminds me of the Claudia Lawrence case when police circulated a picture of her with the totally wrong hair colour.
How can this error be made. I appreciate that sometimes navy blue can appear black, but on the doorbell footage, the coat is clearly Blue as are the denims.

Can anyone help me on this please?

I'm not sure what you mean. He will have brought a team of people & vans containing equipment.
If this turns out to be foul play the whole area is contaminated. I have no words. Honestly.
It would have to move 1.4km a day. I have no sense for how likely this is if submerged. Has the speed of the Wyre's current been indicated? I have seen flow figures expressed as cubes per second, but this doesn't give you current speed unless you know width and depth.
Didn’t he add ‘not in this stretch of river’
