The set said they’d heard what had actually occurred to Steve and wished to see if they might help. Using professional equipment, Duncan had the ability to reach Steve and handled to coax him to come close enough to capture, prior to bringing him pull back in a rock bag. The rescue, on 26 April, took control of two-and-a-half hours.
Johnny said: “Steve had actually invested 3 nights and 2 days stuck in the tree and there was no other way he was going to boil down by himself, specifically as a few of the branches were rather fragile and making it harder for him.
“Even the fire brigade would not have been able to reach him on this occasion – so we’re really grateful to Vince and Duncan who were only too happy to help and kindly donated their time and expertise with what turned out to be quite a long and tricky operation.
“Steve was understandably frightened – he was clinging to the edge of a branch which was bending over with his weight – but once he was safely down I checked him over and he was thankfully uninjured and returned to his very relieved owners.”
