Whitehaven and Maryport Coastguard rescue teams and St Bees RNLI were called out on Saturday to St Bees, just south of the lifeboat station.

“We extend our thanks to St Bees RNLI for their support and wish the casualty a smooth recovery.
“This callout highlights the importance of multi-agency teamwork, combining skills from both lifeboat and Coastguard teams to ensure a swift response.”
