Kynance Cove, The Lizard, four people cut off by tide

The first time they were called to Kynance Cove was at 12 noon after an 999 call to the coastguard about a woman suffering from major chest pains and unable to breathe.

"Once on scene, casualty care was given and an assessment of the casualty’s symptoms was made,2 said the coastguard report. "After stabilising the female, the decision was made to transport her to the waiting ambulance for further assessment.

"The team were stood down and returned to station."

Posting on Facebook the woman, Yvonne Wildon, said: "I would like to say an enormous thank all to all of the coastguards that came to my aid today.

"I am humbled by the help they gave me their amazing actions and attitudes, helped me at a very difficult time.

"Just in case the nurses (fellow beach users ) read this, who also went out of their way to support me prior to the coastguards arriving thank you for your kindness."

Nearly five hours later they were called out to Kynance Cove again after receiving reports that team paged at 16:47 to a report of 4 casualties cut off by the tide at Kynance Cove beach.

Once on scene two Coastguard spotters were sent to the cliff top to make visual on the casualties, and help guide the lifeboat to the stranded people on the rocks.

All four casualties were then brought to the shoreline, and out of danger to our awaiting Coastguard team on the beach.

Safety advice about the tides were given to the group, and we were then stood down and returned to the station.

A report from Lizard lifeboat said: "Our crew were tasked by the coastguard at 16.43 this afternoon to attend Kynance Cove following reports of four people cut off by the tide.

"Due to thick fog visibility was incredibly poor and following a prompt launch, RNLB arrived on scene at 17.11. Initial reports were that the casualties location was unknown so the search began near to Asparagus Island where they were quickly located.

"No injuries had been sustained and no medical attention was required. The Y boat was deployed from the lifeboat and the casualties were taken two at a time from the island to the safety of the beach and left in the care of the Cliff Rescue Team. Leaving the scene at 17.25, RNLB Rose returned to the station at 17.39 where she was rehoused, refuelled and made ready for service again.
