Woman found on rock armour at Llanddulas

We received a call at approximately 16:00 this evening by two men who had found a female lying on the rock armour at Llanddulas.

We arrived on scene and decided the best and safest way to extricate her was to go by sea. At 16:15 we radioed Holyhead Coastguard to request the launch of Llandudno's RNLI Inshore lifeboat. The Lifeboat was taken by road to Colwyn Bay where it arrived on scene at about 16:35.

She was placed on a stretcher and taken to the lifeboat. A Welsh Ambulance Service Paramedic accompanied the casualty on the short journey to the Porth Eirias Slipway. The casualty was placed in a waiting ambulance and all were stood down and returned to our bases by 17:20.

Photo: MEDICAL EVACUATION BY LLANDUDNO LIFEBOAT CREW A woman was evacuated to hospital by RNLI inshore lifeboat and ambulance early this evening after being found lying on rock armour coastal defences near the Rainbow Bridge at Llanddulas, North Wales. The casualty, in her 30's, was discovered by two young men, and after the alarm had been raised Coastguards decided the best and safest way to extricate her from the rocks was to do so by sea. As a result, Llandudno's RNLI inshore lifeboat was called out at 1615 hrs, taken by road to Colwyn Bay for launching and by 1635 had beached close to the casualty. After she had been placed on a stretcher the woman was carried down the beach to the lifeboat and placed aboard. With an ambulance paramedic also on board the lifeboat motored to the nearby Porth Eirias slipway. By 1720 the casualty had been placed in a waiting ambulance; the RNLI crew together with Llandudno Coastguard personnel were then stood down and returned to their respective bases.
