RNLI manager praises "great work" of rescuers

This weekend the RNLI Lifeguards return to work at Pembrokeshire's beaches. Ahead of a busy summer ensuring the safety of beach goers, their efforts in the rescue of two surfers last June have been praised.

It's a pleasure to recognise the great work that the RNLI team were involved in at Newgale last year. RNLI lifeguards face all kinds of scenarios on the beach, and due to the intensive training they take part in throughout the season, they've got the skills and abilities to face anything and help those in trouble on the coast.'

– Philip Davies, RNLI Lifeguard Manager

Pembrokeshire lifeguards are to receive a special award from the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) for the rescue of two surfers last year.

The surfers - a male and female in their 20s - had climbed onto some rocks and were unable to return to shore after getting caught in a rip current.

Scott Candler, Ben Ablitt, Cameron Chancey and George Strotter will be presented with the RNLI Alison Saunders Lifeguarding Awards - named after the former RNLI Deputy Chairperson - for the 'daring' rescue carried out on Newgale beach last June.

Wales Coast Path beach app and website launches

In many parts of Wales, it's been the sort of day when you might have thought about heading to the beach.

Soon you'll be able to take advantage of a new app available from today which tells you all you need to know about the beach you may be heading to.

Carl Edwards reports.
