A very long shot I know, but a pair of British Ex-pats left Bulgaria in mid November to drive back to the UK, but never arrived home. Joseph (Joe) Cairns and his wife Marie, their route was through Romania and Austria, in a Silver Peugeot Estate, reg V 489 ***. Family are now very concerned for their welfare.

Think this is one to report to the police.

Where were they last seen, known to have been?

Rumo is a big place and quite deserted in places.

Have they "form" for going of the beaten track and reappearijg months later?

The request for information came from the local police, as did the suggestion to ask in as many forums as possible. They were last seen in Spasovo in Bulgaria, as they left to spend the winter in Britain (fools!) Weather in some parts of Europe was pretty dire, they may have holed up somewhere until it improved, but no contact for six weeks is pretty worrying. As for disappearing, no, they've done the trip every autumn for several years.

If you're comfortable to share the information I would love to know what they were doing for two months without contacting anyone? Long trip back? Hiding out somewhere? Unforeseen problems?

Quite understand if you'd rather not share too.

I'm a long way detached from the heart of this story, it seems they were never actually 'lost', but didn't want to be 'found' either. There's "nowt so strange as folk", and much more to the story than I'll ever know....
