Criccieth RNLI Lifeboats launch to person cut-off by the tide

Both Lifeboats were swiftly despatched. The station’s inshore rescue boat, Margaret a Nantw, was transported by road, along with her Crew, to a local launch site near the scene by trailer. The boat was able to bring the person on-board and assess their wellbeing.

As the Station’s Atlantic 85 Lifeboat stood-by, the inshore rescue boat transported the casualty from near the bridge’s gabions, ashore into the care of the waiting HM Coastguard team.
