Detective Inspector Dan Bates, of Leeds District CID, said: “Although Carl’s lifestyle includes going off walking and camping alone, often for long periods, it is completely out of character for him to not have been in touch with his family for this long.

“They are very concerned about him, and we would like to hear from anyone who has seen him or who has any information that could help to trace him.”

He is described as being 6ft tall and bald, with a grey full beard and a stocky build. He was last wearing a grey zipped jacket, grey jeans and hiking boots and was carrying a backpack.

Anyone who has seen him or who has any information that could assist in tracing him is asked to Leeds District CID via 101, quoting reference 13220342084, or by using the West Yorkshire Police live chat.
