The rising tide times around Cramond Island this weekend will mean RNLI are likely to see calls to help walkers cut off by the tide.
Two weekends ago, the volunteers at Queensferry RNLI were call out three times (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) to evacuate stranded walkers.
The causeway leading to and from Cramond Island will be unsafe to use at points throughout the weekend.
If you’re fortunate enough to live nearby and decide to walk across for your essential exercise, plan ahead before you go to reduce the risk of being cut off by the rising water.
- Check the forecast and tide times before you go
- Let someone know where you’re going & when you’ll return
- Take a fully charged phone
- In an emergency, dial 999 and ask for the Coastguard
