02 May 2012Getting reports he's been found safe and well at Kinloch Hourne and unaware of the concern for him.
Maybe a miscommunication with his loved ones about what his plans had been and when he would "reappear"???
Several lovely routes through using wild camping or a couple of bothies.

02 May 2012Ah, scratch that - the Police News release says "The 73-year-old man who has been missing in the Glendessary area and who was found safe and well this afternoon has been named as Neill McCawley, 73, from Worcester.
Mr McCawley has told his rescuers that he underestimated the difficulty of the walk and the route, which resulted in him having to camp for longer than he had originally anticipated."
