Tasked to Chapman's pool to locate and extract a person camping who was suffering from back pains leaving him unable to stand or walk. On scene at Chapman's pool to discover the casualty at the far western side of the bay, the team made there way to his location to assess his condition. After our first assessment we made arrangements for a stretcher evacuation, Kimmeridge CRT now on scene and proceeded to the casualty sight with a stretcher and carrying equipment. An on scene discussion was made that due to the casualty state, location, distance from any vehicle access and underfoot conditions a manual carry would be unlikely and unwise. A request was made for lifeboat assistance, SW ALB, Weymouth ALB and ILB were diverted from training to our location to assist. Due to search conditions WEY ILB were only able to land crew at the opposite end of the bay, After discussion with the crew they decided that it wouldn't be possible to evacuate by sea due to the conditions, 1 crew stayed to assist with pain relief. A request for helo extraction was made to JRCC, R375 was diverted from training to assist. The casualty was winched from the beach to an awaiting ambulance at Renscombe car park HLS. Once all crew were recovered safely to Renscombe were stood down and RTS.
