Barmouth RNLI Inshore lifeboat was launched at 23.01 on Thursday evening to assist a woman who had fallen on some rocks near the southern end of Barmouth Bridge.
Within minutes of the call out, the inshore life boat was manned and on its way to the incident in a gale force wind and choppy sea. On arrival at the scene the volunteer lifeboat crew found paramedics already in attendance treating the casualty who was suffering from head injuries after tripping and falling down amongst the rocks.
The volunteer lifeboat crew with the assistance of the paramedics transferred the woman to the inshore lifeboat.
The ILB with a paramedic on board travelled back to the harbour where an ambulance was waiting. The woman who is on holiday from Lancashire was taken by ambulance to hospital.
