Cave campers swamped Six cave campers at Tenby were taken by surprise in the early hours of 5 August, when the tide came in and washed their possessions away. They retreated further into the cave, but soon found themselves in deep water. When Tenby's D class Ceorgina Stanley Taylor arrived, the campers had reached higher ground but were cold and soaked through. The crew gave them first aid and dressed them in survival suits. Helmsman Philip John commented: 'I can't think of anything more dangerous than being asleep in a cave with the tide coming in to cover you. We're all so relieved that camping equipment is the only thing they lost - the sea could have taken their lives.'.
