A mother and her 11-year-old daughter were rescued by coastguards after becoming trapped in mud on a New Forest beach. The woman became stuck while trying to free her daughter, who was submerged knee-deep in the mud.
The incident occurred at Tanners Lane, East End, Lymington, at around 14:30 GMT on Sunday. The pair were stuck 30 metres from the shoreline for approximately an hour before being freed.
Family members raised the alarm after the mother's attempt to pull her daughter from the mud failed. Lymington Coastguard, assisted by Hill Head Coastguard and Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service, arrived at 14:40 GMT and freed the pair by 15:20 GMT.
The mother was treated for the effects of cold, while the girl sustained a leg injury. Colin Tabor, station officer at Lymington Coastguard, described the rescue as challenging due to the location, deteriorating weather, and a flood tide.
In a separate incident, the coastguard and emergency services rescued a man from mud in Milton, Portsmouth, at 20:30 GMT on Sunday.
