Two people and a dog in a dinghy rescued from mud

Two people and a dog in a dinghy were rescued after becoming stuck in mud near Falmouth.

Coastguards and specialist mud technicians were sent to Mylor Bridge on Saturday morning after receiving a report of an elderly man stuck in a dinghy.

On arriving at the scene, the rescue team found two people and a dog were stuck in the mud.

Given the weather and tide timings, the coastguards decided to undertake the rescue by deploying to the mud and recovering the party.

After the operation, the rescuers reminded people to call 999 and ask for the Coastguard if they saw anyone in danger along the coast.
