Warning after walkers rescued

The two Polish men were not taken to hospital

Walkers are being warned to take care after two people were winched to safety when they were cut off by the tide at Worm's Head on Gower, south Wales.

Two Polish men were rescued by the crew of an RAF helicopter on Sunday.

Coastguards received a 999 call from a member of the public on the mainland at 1545 GMT.

A spokeswoman for Swansea Coastguard has warned people to be careful, to be aware of their surroundings and consider possible dangers.

"People are off work at the holiday period, the weather is calm and dry and people like to walk off their Christmas dinner," she said.

"They should check the tide times - at Rhossili, there is a board outside the National Heritage Centre."

Two men uninjured

On Sunday, the Rhossili coastguard shore team went to the scene and the Horton inshore lifeboat was also launched.

Coastguards asked the crew of the RAF Sea King, which was on an exercise nearby, to help out.

The two men, aged 24 and 23, were flown to the shore uninjured.

Earlier this year, 18 people - including three children - were rescued by helicopter and lifeboat at the same spot after they were seen trying to cross the flooded causeway.
