One of the teams that attended the mud drama |
A METAL detectorist from South Yorkshire had to be rescued on Saturday afternoon after becoming stuck in mud off North Promenade, Cleethorpes.
Emergency and rescue services were called to the whale's tail rock armour groyne following an emergency call from the middle-aged man.
He had become trapped in the quagmire on the north side of the whale's tail rock groyne.
There are clear notices urging beach-users to stay off both the mud - which is glutinously treacherous - and the rocks, but the advice is routinely disregarded.
The man, understood to be from the Rotherham area, did not require treatment.

It is believed the orange 'stretcher-sledge' was used in the rescue operation |
