Hastings Lifeboat and Lifeguard called out today.

The lifeboat, and coastguard, were called out earlier today when a male teenager was reported to be at Cliff End, near Pett Level. After 2 hours he was talked down from the cliff, the police took him into custody, and the lifeboat returned to Hastings; see website.

Respect to the RNLI, cheers!

Hastings Coastguard warning over Pokemon!

UK Coastguard has put out a safety reminder after three girls ignored a red flag beach warning at Hastings Pier last night and went into the water chasing Pokémon. Hastings Coastguard Rescue Team and the Hastings RNLI inshore lifeboat were sent to the scene, along with Sussex Police.  Police officers were able to get the girls out of the water minutes before the UK Coastguard and RNLI arrived. For more information, see the Maritime and Coastguard Agency safety reminder at this link.
