Family rescued

Filey RNLI have issued advice after rescuing a family on Filey Brigg.

The family of three were cut off by the tide but had safely managed to climb up the steps to the side of the Brigg.

They were later rescued by Filey’s D Class Lifeboat, the Rotarian.

The RNLI said: “We would like to remind visitors to check tide times and to leave the Brigg at least two hours before high tide.”

Tide times can easily be found online.

Last weekend brought the danger of rip currents to the coast.

The RNLI have also issued advice to those heading to the beach this weekend.

These occur at beaches with sand banks, including Reighton Sands and Hunmanby Gap.

The RNLI says people should “under no circumstances try to swim against it”.
