RNLI rescue from Sennen Cove, Cornwall

Video courtesy RNLI - Clinging to a cliff face by the tips of her fingernails, this holidaymaker's hysterical screams could be heard hundreds of metres away. Caught out by the spring tide on Good Friday shortly after 2pm, Stacey Hayes, from Leyland in Lancashire, had to be winched to safety by a rescue helicopter from a cliff face between Green Bay and Porthcurno Beach. Three other holidaymakers, including her concerned boyfriend, Adam Neal, also from Leyland, had moments earlier been rescued by an RNLI boat from the bay after they were effectively cut off by the tide. Land's End coastguard station manager Dave Jackson explained he could hear Stacey's panic-stricken cries for help from the Minack Theatre, where he works, prompting him to call Falmouth coastguard.
