The casualty was near the fairly remote cove of Aber Bach, also known as Aber Hesgwm.

The paddleboarder was treated by the lifeboat’s doctor and then taken onboard the ILB to Pwllgwaelod beach.

They were met there by family and went on to A&E by road.

The ILB and its crew then returned to station for a wash down and refuel to be ready for the next service call.
