A kayaker has called a mayday after getting into trouble near the Farne Islands; although he is able to communicate his location via his VHF radio, his voice is faltering, and it鈥檚 a race against time for the Seahouses crew to find him.

In Crantock, north Cornwall, the lifeguards are alerted by a teenage boy that his uncle has been caught in a rip current at the north end of the beach. On the Gower peninsula, the Horton and Port Eynon crew are called out to three people caught out by the tide on Worm鈥檚 Head, a notorious headland that has claimed countless victims over the years.

And in West Kirby, on the Wirral, a dog walker has fallen and broken his elbow - and the tide is now rapidly rising.
