Despite the current guidelines , three people have just been rescued close to Old Harry having been cut off by the tide. Having travelled from Slough the three had walked from Studland and got cut off when the tide came back in.
One of the party had managed to get back to Studland to raise the alarm which saw Police, Coastguard , RNLI, NPAS , South Western Ambulance and the Coastguard Helicopter tasked to search for the missing two.
The Swanage RNLI inshore lifeboat located the pair on a ledge and were monitored by the Coastguard team from the top of the cliff. They were then brought ashore to be met by Police and further Coastguards at South Beach. As they had been in the water for some time colleagues from the Ambulance attended to check them.
Dorset Police are now dealing with the three in respect to breaches in the guidelines.
The three are very lucky to have been located safely.
Please respect us and our emergency service colleagues, do not travel and exercise close to home.
