The coastguard team arrived on scene and quickly established with the Flamborough Lifeboat that the casualty had come off her paddle board and managed to climb some way up the cliff.
The meant an extraction by lifeboat wasn’t going to be possible in the incident which occured on Sunday 2nd July.
The coastguard team set up an immediate cliff system which allowed their technician to descend the cliff and stabilise the casualty relatively quickly.
Once stabilised, the casualty was recovered to the top of the cliff in the Coastguard's casualty rescue strop and given minor first aid treatment before leaving scene.
The Coastguard have issued this advice:
If you are using a paddle-board, ensure that you have checked the weather and tidal conditions, that you wear a buoyancy aid and have a way of calling for help should the unthinkable happen. If you see someone who requires assistance at the coast dial 999 and ask for the coastguard.
