A difficult rescue from a well-known climbing spot this week is a good reminder that ‘HM Coastguard helps anyone in trouble at our coasts’.

HM Coastguard’s Senior Coastal Operations Officer Rob Farr has issued the reminder to the public ahead of the Easter holidays, following Monday’s incident in South Cornwall.

A 22-year-old man was climbing with three friends at Trewavas Head when disaster struck and he fell up to eight metres on to a granite slab overlooking the sea, requiring evacuation by helicopter.
