A LIFEBOAT was called out to a group of seven walkers and a dog stranded at a popular stretch of Wirral coast by the incoming high tide. West Kirby RNLI responded to the call just prior to high water yesterday, (Wednesday, April 14), shortly before 12.40pm. The volunteer crew was tasked by HM Coastguard following a phone call by a concerned member of the public due to the sighting of a group of walkers on Little Eye. The fast flowing rising tide was quickly flooding prior to reaching a height of 8.56m at 12:54pm. The volunteer crew quickly reached the group and spoke with all parties to ascertain if help was needed at this time. It was established that there was no medical emergency and that the individuals all had appropriate clothing and provisions to remain in situ whilst waiting for the tide to turn and go out.
