Oh dear. Sorry to hear this.

Police have found a bicycle belonging to missing West Coast beekeeper Roy Arbon.

Arbon, 75, has been missing since he set out on a walk up Mt Davy to Mt Sewell near Greymouth last Wednesday.

He was captured on camera riding from Runanga to the Mt Davy area.

A police spokesperson said Arbon's bike was found on a nearby trail and search teams were out again despite poor weather in the area.

"Our teams remain committed to the ongoing search," they said.

"Roy's red bike was located on Rewanui Road and we continue to ask anyone for sightings of Roy the morning of 23 July. He was heading from Runanga to the Mt Davy area on his bike."

A hand written note said he would be back the following day. Article here has quotes from searchers about things being odd. Phone lines in wide open space, then went off 12 mins later and nothing since. No evidence on search of line of 18 people - odd. And hikers in the area on same track didn’t see him
