Cliff Rescue

You never, ever know what you are going to see next at Poldhu.

I was out walking today when we came across a rescue in progress. A dog had gone over the cliff just by The Poldhu Nursing Home.

The dog was called "Chaos" !!! Luckily his fall had been broken by a ledge half way down and it was known that he was bleeding but able to move.

The Coastguard had great difficulty getting him into the sling to bring him up. They tried getting his owners to call him via the walkie talkies and eventually the owner was put into a harness and taken to the edge of the cliff. That too failed so they had to send down more men.

It was quite an operation and there was quite a bit of equipment needed. The ropes were secured back in the "Marconi" field.

Blue and Poppy were busy watching the action and even a cow wanted a better look!!

The coastguard are very brave and are to be commended.

I will leave you with a photo of dear Trewoon from a different angle. It gives a good view of the golf course - the golfers were out in force today as it was perfect playing conditions.
