Sennen Cove Lifeboat RNLB City of London III (source Facebook).jpgBody found after coastal search for missing cyclist in Cornwall
A body has been found during a major search and rescue operation in Cornwall after a cyclist was reported missing yesterday.
The man, a 53-year-old German tourist, was last seen at 3pm on Saturday afternoon when he set off to cycle along the Cornish coast between Newlyn and Sennen Cove, reports Cornwall Live.
The search involved two lifeboats from Sennen and two from Penlee, a coastguard helicopter and cliff rescue teams based in Penzance and Land’s End.
Prior to the body being found, Sennen RNLI press officer Brian Simpson said: " They are searching for a 53-year-old German male who went out cycling yesterday afternoon and was last seen as he set off at 3pm.
“They've been asked to do a shoreline search along the cliffs from Sennen Cove around to Newlyn.”
A subsequent post on the Penlee Lifeboat website said: “Sadly body recovered by Sennen Cove Lifeboat.”

Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Sure, but if the section in the picture is always flooded then it's effectively unusable.
Time to ban him completely? He's clearly incapable of learning his lessons and will always keep pushing both the technical and sporting boundaries.

This is correct, if we're going to invest in the criminal justice system we should do so on catching people and processing them through the system...

Will the CPS/Courts follow through, one wonders?
Exactly that
