Incredible cliff rescue footage of man being rescued at Newgale Beach (with footage)

Watch this incredible rescue footage of a man being rescued from a precarious cliff ledge at Newgale Beach in Pembrokeshire.
UK Coastguard received a 999 from three men who had been cut off from the tide at Newgale Beach just before 8pm on Thursday 13 July.
Broadhaven and St David's Coastguard Rescue Teams, Little and Broad Haven Lifeboat Station and the UK Coastguard search and rescue helicopter based at St Athan were sent to the scene. Two men were rescued by the lifeboat but the third man had climbed the cliff to escape the incoming tide and was in a very dangerous position. The helicopter airlifted the uninjured man to safety. These men did exactly the right thing to phone the coastguard when they saw they were getting cut off.
Always check the weather and tidal conditions before you set out so that you can prepare accordingly. Find local coastal weather and local tide times at: www.bbc.co.uk/weather/coast_and_sea/tide_tables
