A mum has told how she got lost in woods for two hours with her eight year-old son when a fun day out to the beach turned into an 'absolute nightmare'. Leanne Pate, 41, said she was about to have a panic attack before a kind-hearted stranger called Elaine stepped in and saved the day for them.
Leanne, from Wigan, went for a Bank Holiday Monday trip to the Formby coastline in Merseyside with her young son, Theo. She told how they had a kickabout together with a football before venturing into woods nearby.
But Leanne was unfamiliar with the terrain and area and told how they quickly became lost.
