A spokesperson said: “The tide had just gone out and the mud was very soft. The more the woman struggled to get out the deeper she sank. In the end the decision was taken to page the crew of the volunteer inshore lifeboat to help her, which they safely managed to do.
“It was rather a muddy job. Luckily this time everyone, although in desperate need of a shower, were safe and sound, however it shows how easy it is for a situation to become life threatening. If the tide had been coming in then it would have been a much more worrying situation.”
