Guess the three top climbers who were in the ill-fated overloaded craft as it sped on to the rocks at 3am sunday??

Eight persons on a speedboat designed for four, combined with the fact that it was dark, meant that they would have had no chance of sighting the rocks that they collided with

Left or right, Tony? Left or right? Too late.

Oooooo, I know!  But I won't ruin it for everyone else.

Why didn't they just ask the moon?

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

Go on, give us a clue, were they locals or up for the weekend?

and WTF were they doing on a boat at 3am anyway?!? I'm intrigued.

[Johnny Brown]

Obviously the local usual suspects were involved, plus a visiting lancashireman of  the type that won't go to bed until he's been in a speedboat crash...

that doesn't narrow it down much... ???

[Jim]

I'm intrigued, who aere they. was the lancastrian pasqualey?

[Johnny Brown]

one down, two to go. The usual suspect should be easy enough...

[Pantontino]

Hockstack?

[Johnny Brown]

Correct - who else?

The final musketeer is less well known...

[grimer]

bill birkett?

[Johnny Brown]

Sadly not, though the image will stay with me some time.

More details  - apparently Hockstack and Pasquill were sat back to back with ryan facing backwards. When the boat hit the island both were thrown out over the bows, however Ryan was unhurt as Adam was first through the windscreen...

Let me guess... the report doesn't mention it, but were they worse for wear due to alcohol perchance?

[climbalive]

[andy_e]

[Moo]

So whats the word on their condition are they all right?
