A man who had set out on a camping trip and was waiting to be joined by his stepson was found dead by a dog walker.
Phil Steven Powell, known to his friends and family as Phil Boddy, was a keen camper and had set out on a trip on August 25 last year. He had received some new camping gear on his birthday the previous day, August 24, and was to be joined by his partner Clare Byrne's son.
The 33-year-old found a site close to the canal in Lancaster and had informed her of his location. That day, Phil spoke to a passing dog walker.
