Marathon walker visits Coastwatch station

The watchkeepers at the National Coastwatch Institution lookout on St Albans Head alerted the Coastguard on Sunday (5 May) when a walker on the coast path reported that his wife had fallen and broken her ankle about half a mile west of the lookout. Watchkeeper Brian Erskine went to give first aid and comfort the casualty, while Senior Watchkeeper Ian Mateer liaised with the Auxiliary Coastguard cliff team, who evacuated the casualty. She is now recovering at home.
