Warning over tides at the Tower of Refuge

Coastguard helps people for second night

Douglas Coastguard is warning people to check tides and leave plenty of time if they wish to walk to a landmark.

On their Facebook page, they reported a second night of low tides meant a number of people had to be helped after walking to the Tower of Refuge.

The incoming  tide had threatened to cut walkers off – coastguard officers on patrol stepped in to lend a hand.

It’s the second night the service says people could have found themselves in difficulties because of the rising water.
