WashijaWaiting For The Squad
“So now the rescue squad is on their way to our location” Jess finished explaining. The boys could not believe their ears. None of them was aware that an app such as this one existed and only they knew how thankful they were today for its existence. The trio began to see hope again, the hope of sleeping in their beds tonight and for Jess and Kieran, the hope to see Emmie.
Help Is Coming
It had been almost an hour since they spoke with the operator who informed them that the rescue squad is on its way. But still, there was no sign. Their worst fear also came true, it had started to rain heavily. So now they were cold, tired and hungry, struggling to find shade underneath the trees. Jess was on the verge of crying her heart out but she knew she has to be strong, help is coming.
Spotting The Hikers
Another half an hour had passed, the three of them were utterly drenched by now. Jess was huddled up between Dan and Kieran when she heard a vehicle coming their way. She thought she is dreaming when she spotted a headlight. Is this happening? Have they been found?
Locating The Trio
Teesdale and Weardale Search and Mountain Rescue team members were able to locate the trio extremely precisely. They were instructed to not move unless and until the team reaches them. The rescue squad was able to use the what3words code against their system and send a text to Kieran’s phone which ultimately helped them in mapping the directions to their location.
Happy And We Know It
The trio was thrilled to see the vehicles rushing in to get them. The three of them jumped to their feet and ran outside into the clearing. Jess mumbled every prayer to every God she possibly could. She could not believe they get to go home. Emmie’s little face came to her mind and she finally let herself shed a tear, but it was out of happiness.
Lucky Survivors
The leader of the rescue squad explained how they were anxious because of the weather but thankfully they managed to find them in time, “We were really happy with the result, which was very effective and everyone was well, albeit a bit cold. They were lucky to have had a phone signal as it’s normally really bad in the forest.”
