Early yesterday morning, the Inshore Lifeboat 'Dr Barbara Saunderson' from Llandudno was launched in response to a report of a female dog walker stranded on the rock armour at Rhos on Sea.

Despite strong winds and slight to moderate sea conditions, the lifeboat arrived at the scene at 5:30am.

The woman had been walking her dog when it ran off onto the rock armour. In an attempt to chase after her dog, she sustained minor cuts and became stranded as the tide began to come in. She started shouting for help, prompting the lifeboat to locate her and her dog.

Both were taken onboard the boat and safely brought back to shore, where they were handed over to Llandudno Coastguard before the lifeboat returned to base.

A spokesperson for the RNLI said “The incoming tide can catch so many people out. The woman this morning had noticed she was in trouble, knew that the rock armour that she was on wouldn’t become fully submerged and made the right decision to call for help rather than attempting to self rescue.”
