Missing person Harvey Christian – Ben Nevis

From Lochaber MRT

The last two days have seen the team search for the missing person Harvey Christian who failed to return from Ben Nevis on Friday 27th January.


With extremely challenging weather conditions which did not allow helicopter assistance.


However support did come from Glencoe MRT, SARDA, Police Highland and West MRT teams. Also with today’s brief improvement in weather helicopters from both Prestwick and Stornaway assisted in the search at different points in the day.


Unfortunately we have been unable to locate Harvey at this time.
The search will continue when weather allows.

Harvey Christian


If anyone has any info please contact Police Scotland. If you look at Lochaber MRT on Facebook you will see what serious ground the teams and SARDA are on. I have searched in the past many times theses wild unforgiving places. Stay safe all and my thoughts are with Harvey’s family an awful time for them.

For all those taking part on this search take care. My thoughts are with you all.
