British walker remains missing in Almeria

THE family of missing walker David Oldman are still extremely concerned as another day passed with no sign of the 66-year-old.

Oldman was on a solo walking holiday on the G7 route through the Almanzora area when he disappeared. He was last seen at a hotel in Huercal-Overa area on June 9 and was heading towards his next destination, which was Albox followed by Baza.

Concerns were raised when he did not arrive at his accommodation in either town and subsequently failed to board his return flight on Tuesday June 14.

Mr Oldman is around 170 centimetres tall with grey hair and wears glasses.

The Guardia Civil are carrying out searches of the area using helicopters and a canine unit and the British Consul is aware of the situation.

His friends and colleagues are extremely worried about him and urged anyone who has seen him or knows of his whereabouts to contact the Local Police or email alopez@westminster.gov.uk or call (+44)7 944 647 434.
