Land Slip - two cut off by tide

We renew our warnings today about the dangers of land slips and remind the public of the dangers of climbing over rock debris.

Yesterday Coastguard Rescue Officers were tasked to Ballard after a boat owner was concerned for two walkers, walking along the shore.

During this dry spell rock has continued to fall around Ballard and has built up large deposits. It appears the walkers has clambered over these piles of rock to see how far they could walk around the base of Ballard.

On arrival the walkers had disappeared but the boat owner confirmed they had left the danger area.

There continues to be rock falls and smaller land slips in the area and the public are reminded of the dangers and to observe signage.
