*&%$#! heck!

A Hungarian guide who abandoned some 60 hikers last Saturday in Austria’s Rax Mountains may have been drunk, according to local authorities.
The group, made up of tourists from Hungary, set out on a day hike to Preiner Gscheid pass at around 3 p.m. local time on Saturday. The hikers were eating lunch after about half an hour on the trail when they realized their tour guide was missing.
Cheers,
Richard
