A woman had to be rescued after becoming stuck up to her waist in mud at a local beauty spot.
The coastguard saved the woman in West Kirby on Monday, May 29, and released her from the mud at the south end of Marine Lake at around 1.44pm, reports the Liverpool Echo.
It is believed the woman had been left stricken for some time before a Hoylake RNLI hovercraft arrived at the scene and the woman was discovered to be firmly stuck in a channel of shallow water and unable to reach the shore.
