Sadly, if he's been missing for 6 weeks, I don't hold out much hope of him still being alive. Not in that area of Scotland with the clothing and shies he had on. Nights will be cool to cold and adidas trainers wouldn't be suitable for the terrain.
I wonder if it was known he was suffering with depression or health problems?

Hasn't been anything on this case really since his initial disappearance - 7 weeks ago.

The Highlands is a wide area to search, and it is even wilder and more remote possibly than the area being searched currently in Yorkshire for a missing hill walker.

Unfortunately, I think both of these searches will be 'recovery' rather than 'rescue'.....

Still missing sadly, I live close to Bathgate and helicopters are out a lot, locals say it is for him here too, unlikely imo as he was seen fueling up at 1am before the trip north can't be sure but very sad case
