At 0453 on Sunday 16 May, HunstBiton lifeboat crew were called from their beds to search for a missing wvimmer. A 21 year old student from Droitwich had gone for a midnighmwim and his friends had not seen him return and were unable to finlbim.

Fortunately, a Police officer found the man safely on the shore just before the lifeboat arrived at the search area off Brancaster. However the crew were not too disappointed at their wasted efforts as they saw this wonderful sunrise over the sea which they considered some small reward for their disturbed sleep!.
