Cumbria's coastguard and RNLI were called to help a teenager stranded on rocks.

Whitehaven Coastguard Rescue Team and St Bees RNLI had a busy Sunday with two call outs.

At 2.17pm, the coastguard received a call saying teenagers were stuck on Tom Herd's rock just south of the West Pier in Whitehaven.

When the crews arrived on the scene only one teenager was still on the rock as the other had swum ashore to call for help.

A rescue swimmer was deployed to assist as was St Bees RNLI. The lifeboat was able to get up close enough to the stranded teenager to enable them to get safely onboard.

A spokesman from the Whitehaven Coastguard said: "The casualty was transferred to St Bees ILB and taken to the inner harbour and handed over to awaiting Cumbria Police.

"Another brilliant example of multiple agencies working together to achieve the same goal."

Earlier on Sunday at 8.29am Whitehaven Coastguard and St Bees RNLI were called out to reporters of a possible overturned boat or kayak about 300 to 400m off Whitehaven's north pier.

Once the team arrived on scene they realised it was in fact a large log. Due to the log's location, it was deemed to be in a position where it could be a danger to vessels in the area.

St Bees RNLI were tasked to recover the log ashore. Another log was then spotted so members of the team brought that one ashore as well but due to its size, they couldn't bring it above the high water mark.

Copeland Council have been informed so the log can be disposed of.
