A young man had to be winched off a small island by helicopter on Thursday after an ill-advised clamber up the rock left him stuck off a beach in Cornwall.
The Newquay Coastguard Search and Rescue Team were rigging up for a training rescue near Fistral Beach when the real calls started coming in.
At around 7.38pm, the rescue team, coastguard helicopter and RNLI were all on the scene at Whipsiderry near Porth Beach after a report of a person stuck on the cliffs.
