where ending the weekend off with another storm. this is storm corrie moving and crossed the north of the country during the overnight. into the start of monday so that we could see it showing up very clearly here on the pressure chart, a real squeeze in the eyes of ours as it continues to exit out into the north sea. blanket yellow warning across the north of the country, 50 to 60 mile an hour gusts and amber warning for half of scotland where we could see in excess of 80 miles an hour for a band of rain was said southward and eastward followed by plenty of blustery showers, these will be heavy and wintry across much of scotland. with colder air dipping down weight might see a risk of ice across northern and western parts of scotland, for the south it will be chilly but not quite as cold as it will be further north. as we move through the weekend looks like it's going to stay pretty windy, very mild for a time around the middle part of the week turns colder for all by the end of the week.

was trapped for sa hours deep in a brecon beacons cave system after sustaining serious injuries in a fall. in his first broadcast interview he tells the bbc�*s hywel griffith about his fight for survival. did you think that you might not survive? honestly, yes, at times. i sort of flipped between two states. there was the "i'm going to fight this thing and i'm going to survive" state, which then became "i really don't care and i wish you would stop talking to me so i canjust kind of let whatever is going to happen happen" kind of state. and i would catch that and start fighting again. i flipped between the two so it was kind of dark times, initially, i guess. this is where in november 2021, george linnane�*s life changed in an instant. 0gof nynnon ddu in the brecon beacons is britain's deepest and most complex cave system, somewhere george has visited

dozens of times before. there is some amazing stuff down there. there is a beautiful black... my personal favourite part of the cave is the main streamway, which is beautiful black limestone, clean washed, active stream passage so it is the actual underground river. and i love being in that river. looking back at it now, what strikes you about that day as you were about to set off? what strikes me now is... it is strange that as i approached that hatch on the day and set off on what was a perfectly normal routine caving trip not knowing what was about to ensue. it was meant to be a five or six hour easy trip out in time for dinner and fireworks, and little did i know it was going to turn into a 50, 60 hour epic whatever it was where, you know, i could have never come out of there again. george was caving with two friends, they had reached a section known as the upper smithy when,

without warning, the rock beneath his feet crumbled. the first thing i knew about it was this instantaneous feeling of legs whirling around in mid air and arms grabbing for something and just this kind of feeling that something was happened but it was all... at that point, it was pure reflex. there was no thought involved. as i say, it was instantaneous. one second, i was caving and the next minute, the world went mad. it all went black and two minutes later, i kind of woke up in a very different state to when i started. can you remember the pain? yeah. yes, ican. there was just intense waves of pain, like really, really not very pleasant at all. so, i had to move myself. long story short, that involved dragging myself, my legs weren't working, so dragging myself by the tips of my fingers through the dirt

for several metres until i found a bit where the slope went from that to that, so that my head was above my legs. i was just screaming and screaming in pain at that point. his friend went to raise the alarm. george had broken his leg, his jaw, and several ribs. he had a collapsed lung and was bleeding. his condition meant there was no way he could go back the way he came into the cave. he would have to be stretchered the long way out. the main thing i was thinking about was not knowing exactly what i was walking into, not knowing exactly the extent of his injuries or what i might find when i got there. dr rebecca specht was one of the first rescuers to answer the call. she knew george, and as the first medic to reach him, had to assess his injuries. my immediate thought was that there's a chance he's not going to survive this. and then the thought also went through my mind that i am the only

medical professional here and that if he does become more unwell that everyone is going to be looking to me to do something. and, actually, there's a limit to what we can do underground and it is possible that he might not survive this and that i might not be able to do anything about that. so, yeah, it was a big weight of responsibility. i remember hearing the voices in the distance and realising that this time they weren't in my head, they were actually real people that had come. i remember those first aiders turning up. i had basically lost between 12 and 18 hours, probably nearer the 18—hour end, so there are bits of rescue that i don't remember. how are you doing? i know who you are. to help george piece together what happened, we reunited him with some of his rescuers. volunteers who stopped what they were doing to help him. we have never had a casualty who has been on free—flowing oxygen for 54 hours. just the logistics of everything just goes up massively. the severity of the injuries meant that he basically was in this medical bubble,

and we were moving the bubble, notjust him. like an assault course, then? yes. it was almost like 150 individual rescues put together in one individual thing. one thing i heard you tell george was that some people went back to look for his teeth. explain that to us and what hope was there of finding them? yes, so sometimes, if someone loses a tooth, if it is found and it is kept in the right conditions, it can sometimes be reimplanted. so, one of my colleagues had thought to bring a bottle of milk underground to put his teeth in if we were able to find any of the teeth. so, as we started moving him in the stretcher, a couple of people stayed behind to have a look and see if they could find any teeth that we would be able to save for him. but, unfortunately, they didn't manage to locate

them so they are still in the cave somewhere. the rescue had started on a saturday afternoon. by sunday, teams were arriving from across the uk, as more and more volunteers agreed to help. in the end, over 300 people took part. once i started becoming more aware of my surroundings again, it became obvious to me that people had come from the forest of dean and then from the mendips, and then i started seeing faces i recognised from yorkshire and itjust became obvious that people were coming from all over the country. so, you recognised some of these people underground? i did, yes, yes, some people. there are a lot of faces that i didn't see but i did also see mates and comrades, shall we say. all the way through the rescue. and could you start to appreciate at that point just the effort that people had made to help? yes. yeah, yeah. i felt a little bit guilty at one stage, i must admit, and a whole lot of gratitude. george effectively rescued himself. so, if in his head he trusts us

and he wants it and he knows he can do it, then the rescue teams will come together and make it happen. and he was definitely tough enough for the challenge. we have something very. specialist for cave rescue, something we call cave link. above ground, david dunbar was one of those relaying information back and forth, using a special unit which can send text messages through rock and earth. but it wasn't always straightforward. the surface control were getting more and more frantic— because we weren't getting that link because we had a link to the unit- behind the stretcher casualty but as the stretcher moved, i it was getting further away - and it was getting harder and slower sending the messages back. and, clearly, they were getting more and more nervous about the fact - that we were going to lose control. i so, it took quite a long time to get| the perfect link between the surface and the underground, - and there was quite a relief at about three o'clock on monday morning when we finally got -

the messages coming _ through from the underground link. and, then, of course, - it was relayed back to control, who were getting more and more| agitated because i wasn't sending them any information - from the hillside back to them. how did it feel when you were on the last stretch of thatjourney? the last stretch of the journey was actually a really, really good experience. you enjoyed it? almost. in a funny kind of way, i did. i've done that trip before, not on a stretcher but as a caver, so i knew when the difficult bits were done and when we were on the home stretch, and once we were on the home stretch, there was a sense of relief, even though i wasn't out of the cave yet, because essentially, i knew it was ours to lose at that point. because that last stretch isn't the most difficult piece of cave, it's reasonably spacious, there were a lot of people there. and they had kind of let... i think they had let anyone who wanted to, who had taken part earlier on in the rescue, join in for that last bit, so there were masses of people. i will probably never see that many

people in a cave again. after 5a hours underground and being carried in a stretcher for 3,500 metres, this is the exit where george finally came to the surface. from here, he was transferred into a rescue vehicle, then into an ambulance, then onto hospital. his journey to a full recovery was going to be a long one. so, we've got ropes set up 30 metres... george still faces months of treatment but as a way of thanking the volunteers who came to save him, he has already pledged to join the rescue team. he understands a bit about rescue from the receiving end. _ i think that would be a real asset to us, in that respect. _ but i think it shows his determination, really, | that it is not enough we've rescued him and he can i go back to his caving, _ he wants to get involved and give something back and actually be one of those that rescues others. - i think that's fantastic. things come full circle. many of us in the rescue team,

we're in the rescue team because partly we know that if something happens to us, we are cavers, someone will come and help us. so we put it in and someone takes it back. so, george is, you know, is going to put something back in and that's really good to see as well. one of the things i love most about caving is the sort of camaraderie and the sense of community that we have. this thing that we do, it creates quite a... ..a really sort of tight—knit bond between cavers. so, it doesn't surprise me that they achieved what they achieved but, you know, for 300 people to come to my aid from across the country, all come together to achieve one thing, as a team, the single bloody mindedness of it as well,... there was no way they were going to... there was no way they were going to let anything other than a good outcome happen. for many, caving is a hidden world, it's hard to grasp why anyone would want to go underground in the first place, but despite everything he's been through, george can't wait

to go back. i guess, when people think of caving, they think of small passages and crawling and misery, and that's really not what it's about. we do do that stuff but we do it to get to the good stuff, the pretty amazing things that 99.9% of the population will never see. it is like another world down there. it's like being on the moon or on another planet, in some respects. if there was a message you wanted to give to the people who turned out and travelled to come and help you, what would it be? i would just say thank you, from the bottom of my heart, really. i would also let them know that the beer that i own them is under way. yep, it's in the pipeline. hello and welcome to sportsday.
