Hiker who set out for remote Highlands pub found after ‘challenging’ search

Paul Conway failed to arrive at the Old Forge on Friday as expected and was found in good spirits' on Tuesday

A hiker who went missing in the Scottish Highlands during a quest to win a free pint has been found after a massive land and sea search operation.

Paul Conway, 67, set out last week on what should have been a three-day walk on the Highlands' Knoydart peninsula. He had travelled from Newcastle to cross what is often referred to as Scotland's last great wilderness in search of the UK's most remote pub.
