Coleraine and Ballycastle Coastguard recovered a Belgian man from the rock formation known as 'the Chimney's'
Coleraine and Ballycastle Coastguard Rescue Teams were tasked to the Giant's Causeway following a report of a man in difficulties on the cliffs. The casualty, a Belgian tourist, was quickly located near the rock formation known as the Chimneys, having attempted to climb up from the coastal path.
As the light faded, the Coastguard team made ready rope rescue equipment. Coastguard Helicopter Rescue 999 was also tasked. Rescue 999 was able to winch the stranded tourist to safety, and deliver him unscathed into the care of Coastguard personnel on the ground.
