Port Erin RNLI takes part in joint rescue exercise off south-west coast

Training with Manx Adventure and Expo simulates kayaker and rock rescue scenarios to test crew skills.

Port Erin RNLI has taken part in a joint training exercise with Manx Adventure and Expo near The Sound, off the south-west coast of the Isle of Man.

The exercise simulated two rescue scenarios - one involving a kayaker and another person stranded on rocks.

The RNLI says the exercise went 'brilliantly' and provided valuable experience for the crew, particularly those who have recently qualified to take part in emergency callouts.
