Harry Shimmin caught in natural disaster in Kyrgyzstan
A Manxman says he's lucky to be alive after escaping from an avalanche unscathed.
Harry Shimmin, from Ramsey, was trekking in Kyrgyzstan on Friday (8 July) with two other Manx friends when a nearby glacier collapsed causing ice and rock to descend on his party.
He managed to film the whole thing which has now gone viral online.
Harry told Amy Griffiths what was going through his mind when it happened:
Three-month wait for state pension forecast statements
Down on nine-month delays seen in 2024
OFT to investigate possible regulation of funeral directors
Follows 'complaints' and 'legislative developments'
"One of the Island's foremost champions of Manx heritage" to receive Tynwald Honour
Peter Kelly to be recognised for 'outstanding contribution to Manx life'
