People are being advised to take care near the coast after two climbers were airlifted to safety from cliffs in Cornwall by rescue teams. Falmouth Coastguard was called to Bosigran, near St Ives, at about 14:25 BST on Friday after a climber fell and injured his leg.Multiple rescue crews and a Coastguard helicopter responded after a 999 call.
Eddie Robinson, from Falmouth Coastguard, said crews needed to clear everyone off the cliff face due to potentially dangerous winds generated by the helicopter. He said the injured man and his climbing partner were then "winched to safety" after spending about four hours on the cliffs.Mr Robinson urged people to take their mobile phone with them to call for help in case they get into trouble on the coast."But also, just have your wits about you - the tide does move, it is a little bit choppy and there is a swell on the north coast.
