Harry Greaves went missing on 7April after he announced plans to spend a day on a solo mountain walk.The Lucie Blackman Trust said it was using an aircraft without a pilot to search the area around the village of Pisac.Mr Greaves was reportedly seen heading towards the village,although the sighting is unconfirmed.The 29-year-old,who is originally from Bronygarth near Oswestry,Shropshire,was expected to return on 10April.
Mr Greaves,a furniture maker who lives in Wrexham,arrived in Peru on 20February,and attended a living course before visiting friends.He had emailed his family twice to tell them how much he was enjoying the visit.Ellen Greaves said a yellow tent spotted on a mountainside was almost certainly not owned by her brother.She said the British Embassy was now assisting,but called for a"more coordinated effort"from authorities."What we really need is someone to be a central point of contact and coordinate the search and rescue,"she said."So far it's been Harry's friends-they're doing an amazing job,but they're not experienced in this."
