Sent details to a friend in Woolacombe - She's a cute single blonde so no doubt he'll sniff her out
Just got back from the Q's had a good long walk but no sharki 😥
Where the hell is he needless to say alot of folk are concerned
Houns... tell her to head up the coast path, if the winds in the right direction he'll sniff her out in seconds!
Heh..I've invited her to the FB group and asked her to send it on to all the locals she knows..Teetosugars is on holiday in Cornwall and keeping an eye out!

Excellent! Well the above link is where he could well be walking no one would put it past him trying the whole thing. At the moment it seems a starting point.
His mum is still waiting for him in the carpark where his car was left.
Houns... tell her to head up the coast path, if the winds in the right direction he'll sniff her out in seconds!
This thread is too serious to make me laugh, but now Houns has mentioned a cute blonde I'm hoping Sharki will log in to get details.
Had hoped this was a wind up on his part, go missing on Good Friday and resurrect himself on Easter Monday. You're leaving it a bit late Sharki. Hope you're OK somewhere.
Ha... Bagpuss we're using the humour to keep high spirits! We all decided he was watching us yesterday wondering what all the fuss was about! Wouldnt put it passed him...
If it wasnt his weekend for the kids and his phone rang out i'd have no concerns, i'd assume he was just out and about. But as he didnt pick up the little uns and his phone is off its very unlike him.
I don't know him well so not familiar with his habits. But do you think it is odd that he left his car parked at the great bear? And for some time since it seems to have been vandalised.
Please turn up shane we will buy you a large supply of cake.
I'm hoping he's out laying the worlds biggest easter egg trail, so the next time we go biking on the Q's there will be a choccie break every 3 miles or so. Come back soon dude.
Just got back from Looe in South Cornwall but didn't see him on that stretch of the coast path. He's probably speed marched through that section already and is well into Dorset 😉
Seriously though, here's hoping for some good news soon so we can all relax. Very anxious time for all his family. Hope they can remain positive & hope they meet back up with Shane soon.
Buzz, his car wasnt vandalised... the police put the window in.
Going back to the Bristol connection, does Sharki have a tent? a purple one has pitched up beside one of the more off beat trails in Leigh Woods, I had a look in, no one there just a green sleeping bag.
Looked like his tent was in his car but can never be too sure!
any news lads????
nothing much, just after you left a couple of girls from the pub in nether stowey came up to say they'd seen him on thursday.
Dutty Sharki
was up there today riding,i see the police have put up a poster at lydeard hill car park that his is missing, saw a police van up at crowcombe car park to this arvo, has anybody heard any more news??
Just seen this post - nothing useful to add as I don't live in the area, but I just wanted to say that I hope he's OK as he's a fantastic chap who was incredibly generous and helpful when I was coming down to ride in the Quantocks.
By the sound of things, hopefully he's out there walking away in his own world without realising that anyone is worrying.
Hope he appears soon.Good luck in the search guys.
if shane's doing the coastal work it might be worth locals on here (if there are any) popping into their bearby pub to let them know he's missing as he's bound to turn up at one at some point. hopefully the pubs will then pass the message on.
just an idea 🙂
any news today?
Where is the picture of him with bombers and an insane grin? get that up in every pub 😉
Any chance of someone making up an A4 poster we can print out to distribute around local pubs?
I'm in Weymouth and more than happy to get them around the town.

getting concerned now, dont know him well but this all seems worrying
It's srange I don't know him at all, other than on the forum. yet I've been following this thread in the hope he appears safe and sound.
As Houns allready said.. I'm down here in Cornwall doing a lot of walking on Holiday... Will keep an eye out at all times..
I had a thought last night that this might be some sick April fool on his part- if anyone remembers his "bout in prison" they'll know what I mean!
Good luck finding him guys.
The prison thing was purely because he was going to be without internet for a while so wouldn't be seen on STW or Mleh, but those that knew him knew where he was and could contact him. This is way different.
I dont know any of you guys but the sincerity and concern shown is amazing. When Sharki finally pops back up from wherever land he will be home amongst the best friends in the world 🙂
Yes, concerned & fingers crossed, we did 4 hours of walking/looking yest up the tox, felt a bit helpless tho.
This is really upsetting, he seems a really nice guy (bombers apart). I really hope he's OK.
Damn, just read this.
I really hope he turns up, having been on one of his crazy missions round the Q'
Sharki is a great guy. Made me feel super welcome when I moved to bridgewater. Our first ride together in the horizontal rain was something to remember.
I will keep an eye on this thread for more news. Very little I can do from the North East, except keep my fingers crossed.
Don't even know the guy, but keep opening this thread hoping to see a reply from him wondering what all the fuss is about..
Noticed people posting threads on other forums, thats a good idea to feel a little less helpless. Can anyone think of anymore outdoorsy type forums to post on? Particularly walking websites and regional stuff.
OK i have put up a link to this thread on the MTB-wales.com forum & also on the Bikecity.biz forum (mendips). not too sure what else to do.
Shane has also made it onto the Daily Mail alas not described very well
please place support comments for him
Why is Sharki considered to be a 'Vulnerable person'?
He seems pretty capable based on his various exploits on this and other forums.
Why has he been described as 'vulnerable person' - does this mean a drug history, clinical depression or medical problem? Not a criticism, but does this point to other avenues to explore? Samaritans? Local drug counsellors/drop in/day centres? A&E, Needle exchanges? Stress NOT CRITICISING. I am in S Wales until Monday 12 April am. I have a 4 wheel drive car, if I can help let me know, email in profile.
From my experience he's not very vulnerable either! I remember him telling me about his crash in Frog combe just as we went riding down full tilt on one of his "guided" rides. Fingers crossed he turns up fine and bewildered about what all the fuss is.
Unfortunately I'm too far away to really do anything useful.
I don't think it's right to discuss it even if it's true
For all we know there might have been some event in his personal life recently which has hit him hard. Could be anything, as above best leaving that alone.
Just support the guy please thats all I am asking for
[b]The only question is where is he[/b]
Sorry to raise it Chaps. From your tone there's more to the story. Like you said its not appropriate to discuss here. My mistake for raising it.
Lets find the dude.
1st time seen this post
i hope he pops up,fellow building buddie...
Sharki is no more vulnerable than Russell bloody Crowe! What the hell are those muppets at the Mail on about?
any news yet?
