Walkers are repeatedly getting stuck on mud flats in an attempt to explore 'abandoned villages' under a reservoir.
Rescue teams were called twice to save the walkers who wanted to explore the remains of two villages that were revealed by record low water levels at Ladybower Reservoir, Derbyshire. The villages of Derwent and Ashopton were abandoned and purposely flooded to make way for the Derbyshire reservoir between 1935 and 1943.
However, warning signs were erected due to the dangerous mud flats. On Saturday afternoon, a woman fell down a mud flat while exploring old buildings - she had suffered a leg injury and was stretched off the mud flats before being taken to hospital by ambulance.
