A group were spoken to at Studland for the manner they were using their craft close to shore and near swimmers and a BBQ was requested to be extinguished due to the current fire risk.
The patrol were then tasked to Old Harry and a report of a person laid out at the base of cliffs. On route the team were advised this person had got up and got into a boat and left. At the same time the team were made aware about a group climbing one of the stacks at Old Harry so continued to investigate.
At certain times of the year there are restrictions at Old Harry due to nesting birds and also it’s not a usual place to climb due to the very loose rock. On arrival the team were joined by the Coastguard helicopter who were in the area training and the crew soon confirmed this was a group with equipment climbing. Colleagues in the National Maritime Operation Centre made contact with the group who confirmed they were safe and well.
That just left the team to ask a few people to come away from the edge of the cliff as they were sitting a little to close to the edge which in places had little underneath it.
Later in the evening the team were tasked to Southbourne to back colleagues up at an incident but were stood down shortly afterwards as another team became available which were nearer.
