Dog in mountain search for biker Searchers find missing motorbiker
(about 3 hours later)
An RAF search and rescue dog and its handler are searching for a man who was last seen on Thursday after booking into a hotel in Snowdonia. A hunt for a missing motorcyclist involving an RAF search and rescue dog, an RAF helicopter and mountain rescue teams has ended.
The missing man travelled to Beddgelert in Gwynedd by motorbike but the machine is still parked at the hotel and personal possessions are in his room. The man was found in the area of the 2560ft (780m) Moel Habog mountain after going missing from a hotel in Beddgelert, Gwynedd, on Thursday.
The search is focused on the 2560 ft (780m) high mountain Moel Hebog. The alert was raised after his bike and personal possessions remained at the hotel but he failed to return.
The Llanberis mountain rescue team and the RAF Valley rescue helicopter crew have been alerted. The man was flown to Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor. His condition is unknown.
The dog and its handler, who are members of the Search and Rescue Dog Association (SARDA) Wales, will first carry out a search of the Moel Habog area in the hope the man's scent can be picked up. The search began with a dog and its handler from the RAF's Search and Rescue Dog Association (SARDA) and later widened to include RAF Valley's search helicopter and members of the Aberglaslyn mountain rescue team.
If nothing is detected by the dog, a full scale search was set to be organised. North Wales Police, who were co-ordinating the search, were expected to release more information later.
Phil Benbow from SARDA Wales said six other dog handler teams were involved in the search.
The incident is being co-ordinated by North Wales Police.
