Sadly the weather has made the search and rescue conditions very difficult.
Officers and expert Mountain Rescue Teams and the RAF searching for missing person David Brookfield (65), have suspended their searches for the day in Snowdonia.

Chief Inspector Jon Aspinall said: “Our colleagues have been undertaking a systematic search of various areas around Eryri since Wednesday. Due to the deteriorating weather, our search will recommence in the morning via drones and helicopter if the conditions allow.

“I would urge any well meaning members of the walking and climbing community to refrain from trying to help, as local conditions are extremely hazardous.

“We expect the next few days to see the weather deteriorating significantly, and it is highly unlikely that any expert searches will be possible on foot.”

David was last seen on Tuesday 9th of January in the Eryri area. His family are being kept informed and supported by specialist officers.

This really is mysterious. People shud not be disappearing doing mountain walk’s in Wales. If David had fallen him or at least his back pack shud of been located.

Family of Snowdonia hiker missing for almost seven weeks 'praying for a miracle'

David Brookfield has been missing from the Carneddau area of Eryri, also known as Snowdonia, since 9 January. His family say he is a "well-experienced walker" who planned to climb Carnedd Llewelyn and then Carnedd Dafydd.

It's so sad to me that the article upthread says that he had "recently retired and was looking forward to his retirement going on adventures in his campervan". I imagine he had plenty of plans and his photos look like he was healthy enough to be able to do that for many a year.

I'm praying for a miracle for him, and that somehow he'll be able to go on some of those adventures.
