Edale Mountain Rescue managed to save a pair of walkers entrapped in mud on the edge of Chesterfield.

Derbyshire police received a call from a couple of walkers who had followed an old overgrown footpath leading out of the Sheepbridge industrial estate on the edge of Chesterfield, on Wednesday, August 16.

The walkers unfortunately become misplaced and stuck. To make it worse, the mud claimed the shoe of one of the pair.

It was an unusual incident in a similarly unusual location for Edale Mountain Rescue which was requested to send a small group of team members to locate the walkers.

The team brought the pair back up towards Dunston and their car. Unfortunately, the shoe did not have as much luck and was left behind in the mud.
