Byline: On the afternoon of Saturday 18th May Cardigan lifeboat volunteers were paged at 2.51pm to reports of an unconscious casualty on the rocks at Ceibwr bay. Both boats were quickly launched and on scene within 10 minutes.

As the Atlantic lifeboat Tanni Grey was first on scene a crew member was put onto the rocks to assess the situation. Shortly afterwards the D class Elsie Ida Meade arrived on scene and two more crew members were able to assist with the casualty.  

Due to the conditions and where the casualty was positioned, a great amount of concentration and skill was needed by both the helms on the two lifeboats. The RAF search and rescue helicopter, Rescue 122 based at RAF Valley arrived on scene at 3:26pm where a winchman was lowered to prepare the casualty for medical evacuation.
