A hunt for a missing motorcyclist involving a search and rescue dog, an RAF helicopter and mountain rescue teams has ended.

The man was found in the area of the 2560ft (780m) Moel Habog mountain after going missing from a hotel in Beddgelert, Gwynedd, on Thursday.

The alert was raised after his bike and personal possessions remained at the hotel but he failed to return.

The man was flown to Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor. His condition is unknown.

The search began with a dog and its handler from the Search and Rescue Dog Association (SARDA) and later widened to include RAF Valley's search helicopter and members of the Aberglaslyn mountain rescue team.

North Wales Police, who were co-ordinating the search, were expected to release more information later.
