Don't know if FB links work here but there's a boy missing in the South Lake District.

"14 year old boy, Leven, was last seen going to bed last night. He has been missing since then. He has taken a green osprey rucksack and a green vango banshee funnel tent and is likely to be off the beaten track in the fells somewhere. He's a good runner/walker and is probably somewhere in South/cental lakes still ... Although he could be anywhere. Police are aware."

This just popped up on my Facebook too - from the running club he is a member of.

Their Post had similar details but also mentioned he had talked to a friend about doing the Cumbrian Way - so possibly could be on that trail.

The club is based in Ulverston so I assume he lives around that area.

There is a "find Leven" facebook group now. https://m.facebook.com/Find-Leven-Missing-14-yr-old-102696658851112/?tsid=0...

It's thought that he could be anywhere and hasn't  been seen since Saturday so if yoy are out anywhere keep an eye out as random searches are as good as anything at the moment.

At least he sounds skilled and equipped - perhaps just needed some space away from people for his mental health.  Hopefully he will be found safe soon - that he knows what he is doing leads me to feel optimistic that he will.

He may need some space, fair enough, but this is causing his parents (and no doubt others) massive distress and upset. There are other better ways to get  He is only 14, and I have seen it mentioned somewhere (on a fell running forum I think) that he may mot be as well equiped as it is made out. Hopefully he will be found soon

Also sounds like he's not got all his kit with him this time. Very worrying for all concerned.
