Seven-hour search finds walker fit and well

Police and mountain-rescue services were called into action after fears a Westergate man's round-Britain walk had ended in tragedy.

The emergency services were alerted when Colin Snook (72) had failed to make contact as he made his way along the most challenging section of his mammoth trek.

He had set off from Fort William with the intention of arriving at Cape Wrath by July 27 after a walk through desolate regions.
