Snow and the risk of avalanches were today still hampering the search for Essex County Newspapers' journalist Gavin Nightingale.

Mr Nightingale, 38, from Colchester, was reported overdue from a walk on Ben Nevis on Saturday

The search had been expected to resume today, but a Northern Constabulary spokesman today confirmed the weather was still too bad to search for Mr Nightingale.
