Eight teenagers tried to walk from Pembrey Country Park to Burry Port Railway Station on 19 March and became stranded. One called a parent and was advised to stay put and wait for rescue. The parent dialled 999 and soon police, coastguards and Burry Port’s D class lifeboat The Young Watsons were searching the area. After a lengthy search, a lifeboat crew member found the group south of Pembrey Harbour. They were brought aboard the lifeboat and back to the station, where they were given hot drinks and wrapped in blankets. They were cold and embarrassed but otherwise unharmed.
