An adventurer and mountaineer says “being a decent human” has motivated him to travel to Tenerife to help the search for missing teenager Jay Slater.<\/p>\n

Paul Arnott, 29, from Flitwick in Bedfordshire, cancelled a charity fundraiser to fly to the island and join the search and rescue operation on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old has not been heard from for nine days<\/a> when he called one of his friends on the trip with him to say he was lost, his phone was running out of battery and he needed water.<\/p>\n

Mr Arnott said: “I know these environments, I know how harsh they are and how scary they are without experience.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“You have to be the best person you can be,” he added.<\/p>\n

“I spend all my time in the mountains, I’ve assisted search and rescue in Scotland before, it’s what I do.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The climber says he has joined the search each day since arriving and will not leave until the teenager is found.<\/p>\n

“Drones and helicopters are good but they don’t pick up everything,” he added.<\/p>\n

“You’re going to be looking at the most hazardous areas such as ravines and areas [where] there’s potential for rock falls.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mr Arnott was due to take part in a 500-mile fundraising walk for Scottish Mountain Rescue before he heard the call for help in the search.<\/p>\n

When asked why he flew to the island to join the operation, he said: “It’s just being a decent human person, somebody needs help you go help them. I like to think somebody would do the same for me”.<\/p>\n

“I do not cope well in hot countries, it makes me sick, but it’s got to be done. <\/p>\n

“I’ll stay here until we find him.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
