Bodybuilder sparks Bamburgh rescue operation
A bodybuilder who was swept out to sea sparked a rescue operation.
The man was in the water off Bamburgh beach at around midday on Tuesday when it is thought he may have been carried away from the shore by coastal currents.
He was spotted waving for assistance and apparently in difficulty. Humber Coastguard told Seahouses lifeboat station which paged its inshore lifeboat, which then launched. Police, ambulance and Seahouses coastguards were also dispatched.
Just as the lifeboat was about to reach the man, the crew was told he had managed to reach the shore unaided. The man was examined by the ambulance crew.
