Only my wee sister, Kirsty, could create this much hilarity…

In her own words…

“Me ‘n’ some guys from work decided to go deep water soloing (climbing then jumping into the water when you’re done) but the sea was too choppy so we went to a calmer part of the beach and crawled through caves and stuff. then we jumped off a small cliff and got thrashed by the water, it was AWESOME”

“But someone must have seen us at the other side of the cave thing and throught we were trapped by the tide, so they called the lifeguard, 2 teams of cliff search and rescue were sent out to get us, and RNLI boat and a lifegaurd truck, and the press!”

“We’re actually in the paper! lol”

What the press said…

“Coastguard rescuers were called out yesterday after a group of children became trapped by the tide at cliffs south of Aberdeen. The alarm was raised just after 5.20pm and two coastguard auxiliary teams and the RNLI lifeboat were scrambled but the children were able to get themselves to safety prior to their arrival. A coastguard spokesman said the children were given a talk on sea safety before being sent home.”

The really funny bit: Kirsty was the youngest there, she’s 19! The were back on the shore by the time the RNLI etc appeared, having not been in trouble in the first place. Apparently the press turned up after they had left.

Read the Press and Journal story, great reportage!
