Police have issued a fresh appeal for help to find a missing 23-year-old man who is believed to be travelling north towards Lancaster.
Connor Askins was reported missing after he was last seen in Blackpool around lunchtime on August 28.
Lancashire Police said there was a further sighting of Connor later that day at around 7.30pm on Fleetwood Road in Greenhalgh, near Ingdale Farm.
Officers have since received a number of reported sightings and now believe Connor is using the A6 as a general guide while travelling north towards Lancaster.
Police have urged residents, particularly those in rural areas and people out walking, to remain vigilant and report any immediate sightings.
Connor was initially seen wearing a hospital gown but officers said he has since obtained numerous items of clothing, including a grey-blue shirt, black coat and black shoes.
They now believe he is also wearing grey jogging bottoms and carrying a bag.
Connor is described as being 5ft 6in tall with dark hair and blue eyes.

Police have asked people to focus on recognising Connor's face rather than his clothing, as they believe he may have changed outfits again.
Officers said Connor may have links to Penrith and Hackney in London.
Enquiries to locate him are ongoing and police are working to ensure he is safe.
In an appeal issued by Lancashire Police, officers said:
"We believe he is used to sleeping outside or is potentially sheltering in outbuildings or a tent.
"We would ask people, particularly those who live in rural locations or those out walking, to remain vigilant and report any immediate sightings of Connor to us by calling 999.
"It is really important you do this as soon as you possibly can, so we can quickly attend that location and make sure Connor is OK."
Anyone with information, CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage which may have captured Connor is asked to call 101, quoting log 0364 of August 28, 2026.
