Carol - Updates

Isn't it good to experience mums n gransnet working together for Carol and her family.

All the support posts are wonderful and there is a thread for them, but I agree with pheonix, isn't this the thread we go to for updates and news? Hopefully there will be good news today.

Just talked to Adjudant in charge. No news, but much better weather conditions today so all specialist forces deployed + helicopter. Let's hope today will bring news.

Family has help with translation, driving, accom and everything they need. No detail on GN to keep wolves at bay.

Thanks for keeping us updated Grandjura. It's good to know that the family are being supported. Thinking of them, of the search party and all those who are helping in whatever way.

Thanks, Zing!

Watch out! Reporters on the prowl. One from Daily Mail has joined and pm'ed me about another issue, but it concerned me that this has happened, instead of approaching GNHQ, who now have his message. Please be wary.

Trust GNHQ also have the name to bar - but need to be alert.

Yes, they do.

And it is a salutary warning to us not to disclose too much personal stuff, especially when GN is in the news, as it is now.

Let's not be naive ...... for days we were imploring the press to take up the cause and the Daily Mail was the first national paper to step up to the plate (Carol will be horrified at that!).

We can't expect them to now take a back seat and not dig deeper.

Sup with the devil .... all in a good cause.

They are required to approach members through GNHQ, never directly.

when I too have just had a pm from a DM reporter about another issue, which I've reported and blocked him.

We can learn a litte from those celebs who know how to court and manipulate the press. Yes, we wanted their help, but not intrusion and distortion of information given. GNHQ manages press info for this site, thankfully.

Let's all be very careful on talking to any new member on this. Just talked to Police, no news.

Thank you When and Granjura for keeping us updated.

Very good point Granjura and, sadly,one we should all heed.

Riverwalk - I am sure no one involved in raising awareness via the media went into it without a great deal of thought and caution, but it had to be done in full knowledge that it is a double edged sword & what results has to be managed. Those with experience of using media in the past can still be taken aback by how the less responsible media can behave, even at the expense of the people they purport to want to help.

Please, let the next post on here be positive and accurate news.

Much love to all.

Good to read on Mumsnet that the army will be joining the search.

The weather is absolutely atrocious this morning.
Hopefully with the army on board the bad weather won't affect the search too much.

Granjura is right to urge caution!

New day, new hope?

Honeyball, what a pity. So many people willing the search to succeed, but the weather... well, let's hope it improves over the course of the day.

Several weather sites for the area say it will turn to light rain, some sun this afternoon, then two sunny days.

It's already improving and this afternoon and the next couple of days are set to be good.
It's been awfully windy which I think is one if the biggest problems with regards to the search but that's died down now.
They were fortunate in having good weather for most if the day yesterday.
