For those on the Camino Frances now...

Hi all
I have just received the below message from a friend of my sister.
Vincent Walsh's family has not heard from him since he started his Camino ten days ago.

This may be down to poor reception or choice..but if you are on the Camino now (and I guess he would be in and around Burgos now) and you see him, you know what to do.
He has been reported as a missing person in Ireland.

Hi guys, this is my son Vincent Walsh who left home Thursday July 17th to go on the El Camino de Santiago | The Way of St. James in France. We know he arrived safely and we had contact with him up to Sat July 19th. It is now 10 days without knowing he is okay? He is now officially reported as a missing person. Anyone that knows Vincent will know that he always updates his life on Facebook and this trip would have been no different and he would have updated his status everyday. If anyone has any knowledge if his whereabouts or knows anything please contact me. Please share this!!

The church is open these days in Moratinos, he should pass through in the next week or so. I will ask everyone to keep an eye open for him...maybe put up a "Vincent Walsh Phone Home" sign!

There are a couple of other threads started by friends of Vincent - it sounds as though he is actually on the Le Puy route not the Frances: http://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/urgent-please-help-missing-person.28141/ - last seen on July 19th. He is a Forum member, his Forum name is Uinseann.

This news is picking up and all the major Camino related forums are aware of him. Let's hope he is spotted.

I am glad is posted in all forums. I met many, many folks who often had started on a route and switched to other. Hoping for a safe return.
