The search for a journalist who has been missing on Britain's highest mountain for more than a week was continuing today.

Missing - Gavin Nightingale

Gavin Nightingale, 39, has not been seen since he left the Glen Nevis youth hostel in the Highlands to climb Ben Nevis last Friday morning.

Rescuers were forced to abandon the search yesterday due to bad weather and an avalanche risk.

Northern Constabulary said Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team would continue to look for him.

Mr Nightingale, from Colchester, works for Essex County Newspapers as a senior sub-editor.
