I don't know them but my lads go camping with their friends all the time so it has really hit home.

Please share and look out for their car

Saw this, hopefully they didn’t go into the mountains without proper equipment. I grew up in the area and most missing visitors to the area had done this with very unfortunate consequences. Hope they’re found soon. Their poor families.

In that case the car must be parked somewhere and sharing might make a real difference.

Thoughts are with everyone involved.

This popped up on my phone earlier, what a worry, hop they're found very soon.

Reminds me of a documentary series on bbc1 a while back. One of the episodes covered the disappearance of a young driver who was quite a while later found after his car was discovered in the middle of a large wooded roundabout, I think. I hope their car hasn’t gone off the road somewhere remote, and hope they’re soon found safe and well.

IAmAnIdiot123 · 21/11/2023 10:23

I hope they are found safe soon! Hopefully they just don't have signal wherever they are and don't realise they are missing.

QuestionableMouse · 21/11/2023 10:32

Hopefully someone in the area can get a drone up to search for the car.

Comefromaway · 21/11/2023 10:53

My heart goes out to their families.

My son and his friends all seem to leave themselves pretty traceable (assuming their is a signal) with find my iphone and Snapmaps I joke why does ds want his friends to always know where he is on Snapmaps but at keast if they went missing we would stand a chance of knowing whereabouts they were.

It worried me with dd as she has nothing and she worked at a middle of nowhere hotel travelling back very late at night.

I do hope these young lads are fund safe.

I.saw the same episode and was thinking the same but I hope it's nothing, like that and they are found safe and well.

We are rural and there is still a surprisingly large amount of ground with no signal.

Yes, I guess that's the case here.

OhmygodDont · 21/11/2023 11:37

I saw this in the paper today. We were only in Porthmadog last week. Such a lovely area to go out in but so many places you could end up without signal too. Fingers crossed for them.

DevonSeaSwimmer · 21/11/2023 12:10

I understand the car has now been found. No information about the boys yet.

speedyhedgehog · 21/11/2023 12:13

They've found the car. No news on the boys yet. As a mum of three teen boys I feel very worried for them. Hoping for good news soon.

Comefromaway · 21/11/2023 12:17

That doesn't sound good. As a parent of a 19 year old boy this strikes way to close to home.

Yes, it appears from a member of the public so it does show that appeals work.

I pray they are just lost.

From the BBC:
Just as we heard the car has been found, a police cordon was set up near the village of Garreg.
It's on the A4085, about three miles from Penrhyndeudraeth, near Porthmadog.
The air ambulance is believed to have landed a few miles from the cordon.
The road has been closed between Garreg and Port Aberglaslyn.

There is a lot of speculation on that thread and it does not make for an easy read in places.

Comefromaway · 21/11/2023 12:45

Shit. I'm keeping everything crossed for them.

DevonSeaSwimmer · 21/11/2023 12:45

This is all we know for sure at the moment:
BBC Wales
North Wales Police have issued a statement in the last few minutes.
It says that due to a member of the public giving them information, they have now located the car - the missing silver Fiesta they were looking for that belonged to one of the group.
They say they are at the scene currently and they are keeping the families of all of those who’ve been reported missing informed of any developments.

Watchinghockey · 21/11/2023 12:49

Do GPS trackers work there? Our scout leaders encourage them to put a tracker in their backpacks as even if signal is patchy it can still narrow down the search area. Hope they're all found safe soon.

OhmygodDont · 21/11/2023 12:56

They work in some places there but not everywhere. There are some very dead spots Signal wise for trying to ping a location.
