Busy week for Coastguard volunteers

It's been a busy summers week for volunteer Coastguard teams in the Purbeck area,

3 incidents at Lulworth along with the Kimmeridge team involving people falling from cliffs or hit by rocks.

1 person stuck on a cliff at Swanage with colleagues joining us from St Albans.

1 person airlifted from a path at St Albans last night.

All these incidents have involved the rescue helicopter 175 to assist.

In total there are 48 volunteers on call in the area ready to assist those in trouble or who have been injured.

Never attempt a rescue yourself - what may look like a slope could cause you and others serious injury if things go wrong.
