A multi agency response was needed for a major cliff fall rescue at Westward Ho! yesterday.
An RNLI spokesman said: "So many accidents that occur around the coast which involve coastguard and lifeboat rescues happen to those who never meant to get wet, indeed around half of the 190 people who drown each year at the UK and Irish coasts slip, trip or fall into the water."This was so nearly the case at Westward Ho!."
