DH has looked at this and gone a bit mad. (He's outdoorsy and hates reports like this. It always sets him off about what happened - which to an extent is good because he has to do risk assessments for trips etc).
One of the things thats particularly worrying about this case is one of the parents has said that she didn't know her son had gone camping and thought he was staying with the grandfather of a friend. That suggests they were perhaps doing something they shouldn't. Otherwise why not just tell your parents you are camping?
He's been looking at the area and thinking about why teenage boys would go there in particular and using the info online about where the phones last pinged.
His thought was there are some quarries and caves in the area. There is one in particular thats known about and has some zip wires and bridges inside. And lots of water. He also looked up the river measurements for the weekend. On Sunday there was a peak. If they had gone in a cave, that would be bad.
The BBC article says that the police helicopter is circling in the right area for his theory.
The key is the car - they have to find the car. Which I believe they have just found according to the BBC.
That latest update about locating the car chills me. It says they've found the vehicle but nothing about the kids.
I REALLY REALLY hope they are ok and DH is just getting in a complete tiss for no reason.
