Two people were rescued from Worm’s Head after being cut off by the tide.  The duty watch keepers at the NCI lookout alerted the Coastguard at the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre at Mumbles who tasked the Rhossili Coastguard Rescue Team and the Horton and Port Eynon Lifeboat to attend.  The lifeboat landed the people safely at Kitchen Corner.
