I don't whether anybody saw my post before I just joined (thanks for the add) I wonder have you searched out towards Norton Bridge and Eccleshall, because obviously there is no saying he stayed on the canal. My thoughts are with all Josh's family and friends, and I wish I could help more but I live too far away now.
Has anybody taken or emailed posters to staffordshire county show ground? Could be a good way to spread the message as they have events on every weekend xx
They have an event on 19th-20th which will be packed with farmers, so would be a good idea to hand some out so they can check their fields and outbuildings
I've added some farmers onto this group who are local x Is it a possibility he cud of headed upto mere where he once grew up ?x As kids we allHad hiding places and dens or areas we used to investigate and play in so to speak x
The county show ground Is a good idea as its sorrounded by many fields x
