A British woman who has been traveling in Europe for six years in a motorhome has disappeared in the Pyrenees.
Esther Dingley, 37, was atop Pic de Sauvegarde mountain on the Franco-Spanish border when she last spoke to her partner Dan Colegate via WhatsApp a week ago.
Colegate said he was “devastated” and “devastated” by her disappearance, which he learned about while staying on a farm in the Gascony area of France.
Ms. Dingley was due to end her solo trip on Wednesday after riding in the couple’s caravan.
Writing on Facebook, Colegate said: “Search and rescue teams have so far found no trace of her.
“The sole purpose of this post is to ask for prayers, thoughts, candles and whatever you have.
“I haven’t said anything, but this wonderful person believes in the power of positive thinking and right now I’ll take anything if it means I can find her. I need her back. I can’t face the alternative.”
Mr. Colegate added that he was “climbing” the mountain to join the search being carried out by the French authorities.
In a Facebook post, the Haute Montagne Gendarmerie Squad said it was “actively looking” for Ms Dingley, who is an experienced hiker.
The couple had lived in Durham before deciding to travel together in 2014.
