The incident occurred during a weekend of warmer temperatures that had attracted many visitors to coastal areas.

The authorities indicated that the mud can become particularly dangerous when combined with the conditions of the tides.

After the incident, the Wirral Coast Guard Deputy Station officer, Paul Ambrose, issued a warning marked to those who visit beaches during the warm climate.

He said: “The mud can be extremely dangerous. Once you are trapped, it is almost impossible to leave without trained rescuers.”

“The increase in tides can quickly turn a bad situation into a mortal.”

Ambrose emphasized the importance of contacting emergency services immediately in such situations.

“If you see someone in danger, call 999 and ask the fender,” he advised.
