Please hope that this event has a good conclusion  .......

Coastguards and the fire service are working to rescue a man after his leg became trapped in some rocks while the tide was coming in.


6 mins. ago:  Sam Stockdale, from HM Coastguard, said: "It's such good news that this man has been freed.

"Everyone worked together on scene to look after the man and also to free him as soon as was practically possible."

Oh dear, glad that he has been rescued and is ok, we have had a few similiar rescues here in the last week, and someone went in the water and pulled a man out of the harbour a few days ago then a family got cut off by the tide,all ok

[CLKD]

The water was up to his neck    so he was given a life jacket and breathing apparatus.

A young child had been rescued prior to this incident.  Well done Services!

A poor man was pulled out of our sea here yesterday, not been identified yet
Another one a few days ago about 8 miles away, what is going on?

[CLKD]

Hot weather and not understanding the Tides.  Sudden cramp.  Being swept out on lilos ........... thought those had gone out with the Ark! On the North Norfolk Coast it's common for the in-coming tide to creep silently between the sand banks and appear suddenly in front of walkers, who haven't realised that the tide has turned  .  In the deep creeks it soon blocks the way to the beach.  Impossible to swim in as the undercurrents can pull faster than 1 is able to walk.

Yes the tides can be unpredictable especially if you are not used to the sea, most locals check the tide times
A few years ago, well probably about 10, a family were lost at sea, not sure now of all the details, but some members of the family were rescued,the mum and dad and i think 2 children, another 2  or 3 were never found, doesn't bear thinking about does it,
I don't know how anyone can get over something like this,never do i expect

People away from home are relaxed.  Spending time together which isn't often 'natural' ..... so might be bickering.  Not knowing an area and not thinking to check the tide times and lie of the land.  Seen it lots on the North Norfolk Coast around Wells, Cromer ........ as well as on the Marshes with the creeks.  When we went collecting samphire the hairs were up on the back of my neck as I watched for the tide to turn.  We were 3 miles from dry land  so had to time it absolutely.
