Event date: Published:

Over 45 volunteers from five mountain lifeboats, cinema and crew of two Coast Guard helicopters have expanded the night search in the Lake-East during the storm of Austen. The alarm was raised by a young lad, when he didn't come back from the route: the last time he was seen near Taylor-Hill, on the way from Seythall to the top of Skylle-Peak.

The participants had to work for the wind to 80-95 km / h and wet snow. About 02: 40 nights, volunteer team Duddon and Purness saw the signal of the planted lantern in the slopes of the Ench Valley. It turned out that a drainage traveller sat there undisturbed since 6: 00 p.m. wearing all the warm clothes. The reason he couldn't help was because his phone and his bank were completely extinct.

About three o'clock in the night, the victims got to the ground. A lot of refrigeration and exhaustion, the lad seriously suffered; the Coast Guard's helicopter brought him somewhere safe.
