"Despite being an experienced walker, Harry has been missing for a long time now, in wet conditions and cold wind," he said.
"We are appealing for residents and workers in the area to check outbuildings, sheds and barns, as he may have taken shelter in there."
Mr Harvey was wearing a dark jacket and trousers, walking boots and carrying a large dark rucksack containing camping and hiking gear.
Police have asked anyone who finds any of the equipment to get in touch.
