💨 Abstract

A couple was rescued from quicksand on a beach in Formby, Merseyside, after straying into a live military firing range. Alan and Agnieszka Forbes, who enjoy hiking and collecting Wetherspoon pubs, decided to walk on the beach instead of taking an inland diversion around a military facility. Alan sank up to his knees in quicksand and the couple had to be escorted through the firing range after a ceasefire.
