A group of people had to be rescued from a freezing cold lake after their canoe boats capsized while on a team building exercise in Wales. The group of 16 had to be rescued after being plunged into the water at Lake Bala in Gwynedd.
One man who was on one of the boats but didn't want to be named said that the entire group ended up in the water after the windy conditions threw their vessel off sail. A recuse mission involving the police, ambulance service and fire service was called and eight people received treatment. Fortunately, all are fine.
He said that the exercise was for a company he works for and was organised by The Urdd and Glan Llyn. The incident happened at around 4pm on Thursday and it's claimed some members of the group were left in the freezing cold lake for around 45 minutes while help arrived. "It was too windy basically and we all ended up in the water," He said.
