This appeal from Paul Dale is all over Facebook Groups & looks genuine so hoped that Funsters in Spain & Portugal might be able to keep a look out for this missing lady motorhomer & maybe share to other motorhomers too:

Is there more to this ?
'Missing' whilst on holiday for 3 days is not abnormal.

Camping in a place with zero coverage, a flat battery, just enjoying the peace and quiet.
My sister regularly goes 'missing' for weeks at a time whilst travelling.

Does the van not have a tracker fitted ? as it's not an old van

Just saw this was going to post here - hope she is OK xxx

 

[dryad]

hopefully it is just a case of her internet device going flat or lost and fingers crossed she'll be in touch very, very soon and allay the fears for her safety..

Do they mean the 1st of April as that was a Saturday and that would make more sense that she has been missing for a month rather than a few days.

 

[Gina M]

I hope she is ok. As a mother she will know her son is worried she would have made every effort to contact him by now. It is worrying.

Just picked this up on Facebook and can’t see a thread on Fun.

Link doesn’t work so screen shots for info

 

[Madmag]

Seen this on another couple of FB pages. It’s now saying last heard on 29th April which was a Saturday so probably just wrong date written at first.

 

[Riverbankannie]

The actual Facebook post of Paul Dale says photo posted on 29 April which was a Saturday
In these days of share and copy/paste amazing how Chinese Whispers still go on.

Just seen that Wombles posted on this morning, I will leave this thread as cannot delete it.

 

[MisterB]

And she is 75, so let's give the report a bit of credence and treat it as genuine. It's far too important to treat as any less than that.

So what's secret squirrel qualification do you need to be able to see that? I am fully paid up memebr but the link tells me I need to be a "subscriber" to read it - what's the difference?

I assume you've been naughty in the past and are now not allowed into the U shaped lounge area.

Thanks - as far as I am aware, the only U-shaped lounge I have been in is the one in my moho. I did once (a long time ago) do an unexpected trip to Coventry for a comment that was frankly innocuous (or so I thought, but summary justice is what it is) but that was on the general forum.

I'm in email contact with Paul as I made him aware of the thread & he has sent this latest update:
From all the new info we have, the last place she was seen or heard from was Playa De Almayate Bajamir.
She left there at 10.30am and we believe she is heading for Granada via B roads.

This is the route I think she has taken to Granada. Makes sense lots of scenery and two lakes to visit. There is a camping site called camping Granada Los Bermajales she may have stopped in on the second lake.
A356 to Velez Malaga heading toward Los Gomez.
From the first lake the A402 towards Puento De Salia, onto Ventas De Zafarraya.
Then A338 to the lake with the campsite.
After that the road leads to Granada.

They are the same thing.

Two threads merged into the earliest thread,

Someone accused me of hypocracy and double standards in the way I moderated the U shaped lounge, you jumped right in and agreed. Now neither of you can see the blatant hypocracy and double standards at play.

As the van is only 2012 there is a good chance it's fitted with a tracker.

(Even an inactivated one fitted by an earlier owner or dealer)
It would be worth a ring around the major tracker suppliers to see if they have the registration ever recorded, as they have the ability to reactivate a tracker remotely.

Good idea - if you/ any other Funsters can suggest possible tracker suppliers I'll make a list for Paul & pass it on to him.

Vodafone (very popular a few years ago)
Metatrac
Scorpion

Are names that come to mind, but there are more.
Also ask the original dealer, if they know who sold it to her
Also a quick call to the major installers such as VanBitz would tell you if they have the number plate listed.
