Three rescued from lake after kayak capsized
Three people were rescued after a kayak capsized on England’s largest lake.
Whitehaven Coastguard Rescue Team was deployed to Windermere in the early hours of Sunday.
Furness Coastguard, a rescue helicopter and emergency services also assisted with search efforts in the Lake District, but stood down when the three were found safe and well with lake wardens.
Ahead of the summer holidays, the coastguard urged people to carry personal flotation devices and be prepared for water activities.
