Coastguard crews winched down the cliff to get to the four people while the RNLI waited in the choppy water below as it pushed the orange rescue boat closer and closer to the rocks below. RNLI, coastguard and emergency services were praised for their efforts in getting the trio to safety.
Sadly to say know something about this actual situation.l got into a real mess around 10 years ago with much missed Matthew. We had gone looking at the seals. Excited about the wildlife and Matty was animal crazy. Going through the cave at thornwick bay it was ankle deep while on the other side we suddenly within minutes were knee deep then waist deep in water
It took courage to get through the cave where the water resided. It was shallowest heading back too the beach. We recovered but learnt a solum lesson. Another of life's dramas we faced.

North Yorkshire Coast: Four boys clinging to the side of a cave were rescued in a multi-agency operation involving the RNLI and HM Coastguard after becoming trapped by the rising tide.
