🚁🚨 Dramatic Rescue at Little Orme! 🚨🚁
What a week it’s been for the coastguards in Llandudno! With the sun shining and everyone out enjoying the summer holidays, there’s been no shortage of drama along the Welsh coast.
This Saturday, a woman found herself in a sticky situation on the sheer cliffs of Little Orme, which rise 141 metres above the sea. Fortunately, our incredible coastguards were on hand, and the decision was made to call in the cavalry – a coastguard helicopter! The woman was safely airlifted to Bodafon fields, where she received medical attention and was joyfully reunited with her partner. 💪👩⚕️💑
The rescue was just one of many this week for these unsung heroes. Earlier, they responded to a range of incidents, from someone with a head injury on Penrhyn Bay beach to people stuck on a sandbank and a paddleboarder who, luckily, had everything under control.
Here’s a quick rundown of their hectic week:
1️⃣ Located a vulnerable missing person.
2️⃣ Assisted a beachgoer with a head injury.
3️⃣ Helped someone trapped in a cove, thanks to a friendly jet skier.
4️⃣ Rescued folks stranded on a sandbank at Kinmel Bay.
5️⃣ Retrieved inflatables and checked on a kayak near Rainbow Bridge.
6️⃣ Assisted a vessel off Llanfairfechan into safe harbour.
7️⃣ Monitored a paddleboarder making their own way to safety.
The coastguard shared a vital reminder: If you ever spot someone in trouble by the coast, don’t hesitate – call 999 and ask for the coastguard. ☎️🏖️
Stay safe and enjoy the beautiful Welsh coastline! 🌊 🏞️
