A woman was rescued after being stuck "waist-deep in thick mud" while walking near a Merseyside lake. The woman quickly became "firmly stuck in a channel of shallow water" and wasn’t able to reach the shore, the RNLI said. At approximately 2:45pm on Monday, the hovercraft Hurley Spirit from Hoylake was dispatched to rescue her at the southern end of West Kirby Marine Lake in Merseyside. Full story here


Sounds like someone may need to check that place out and see how good it is for quicksand.
