A MULTI-AGENCY rescue effort came to the aid of an injured walker at St Bees beach.
The individual had fallen and sustained injuries on October 26.
Whitehaven Coastguard, St Bees RNLI and Maryport Coastguard all attended to the incident.
A spokesperson from Whitehaven Coastguard said: "With the lifeboat crew already on scene, our Coastguard Rescue Officers assisted in making the casualty comfortable and transporting them from the beach to the warmth of the lifeboat station, where they awaited further care from North West Ambulance Service (NWAS).
"We extend our thanks to St Bees RNLI for their support and wish the casualty a smooth recovery.
"This callout highlights the importance of multi-agency teamwork, combining skills from both Lifeboat and Coastguard Teams to ensure a swift response.
"If you see an incident on the beach or along the coast, call 999 and ask for the Coastguard," they said.
