TRANSLATION:
The coastguard has warned that beaches and coves in a part of Cornwall can be "very difficult" for emergency crews to access after a person was winched to safety by helicopter.
HM Coastguard Padstow went to help the person at Pentire Steps at Diggory's beach on Saturday afternoon and said it soon established additional help was needed.
Newquay search and rescue, Cornwall Air Ambulance, Newquay RNLI and the coastguard's helicopter were used to rescue the person who was taken to hospital in an air ambulance.
Coastguard Padstow said it was an "important reminder" of how difficult access can be in the area and it had been "very lucky" so many emergency services were available.

TRANSLATION
Cornwall Heritage Trust has launched a fundraising appeal to rescue and secure a "unique prehistoric ritual site" for the future.
The charity said it hoped to raise 拢50,000 towards the acquisition of Castilly Henge, just off the A30 near Bodmin.
Castilly Henge is a substantial oval earthwork, with an external bank and internal ditch, which, according to the trust, would have formed an amphitheatre-like settings for gatherings and ritual activities.
The trust said the monument, described as "Cornwall's ancient sacred heart", was currently at risk due to the threat posed by "invasive vegetation". Modern road development and local service networks, which lie within meters of the site, also posed potential risks.
The charity also said the henge was currently inaccessible to the public.
Trust CEO Cathy Woolcock said that the henge has been at risk for some time 鈥 a threat which urgently needs to be addressed before this special place and the secrets it holds are potentially lost.
The trust said recent surveys undertaken by Historic England's Archaeological Investigation Team discovered traces of a now-removed possible stone circle in the middle of the henge.

TRANSLATION
A campaign has begun to refurbish the graves of six volunteer firefighters from Cornwall who were killed during the Blitz of World War Two.
The men, from Saltash, went to Plymouth to help put out fires caused by Nazi bombing.
On 22 April 1941, their vehicle went over an unexploded bomb in Devonport, killing them instantly. Their names were Francis Brooking, Stanley Crabb, Alfred Crapp, Bernard Jasper, John Stanlake and Leslie Tibbs.
Neil Stanlake, whose uncle was one of the victims, said he hoped enough money could be raised to have new gravestones for the 85th anniversary of their deaths.
