    A woman was rescued after getting stuck in a muddy bog near Brimham Rocks last week.

    Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue Association was called to the scene on Wednesday, March 27, at around 12.45pm.

    Rick Hudson, one of the association's volunteers at the scene, told the Stray Ferret the casualty had been walking at the National Trust-owned site and became stuck in the mud whilst on her way back to the car park, after the “weather came in quite nastily”.

    Mr Hudson added:

    “We received an alert from North Yorkshire Police and six team members were called to the scene.
    “When we arrived, it was clear the woman was cold and distressed, and was unable to get out of the boggy area.”


    Mr Hudson said the woman did not sustain any injuries as a result of the incident.

    The association said on social media:

    “With assistance she was brought back onto the path and walked back down the track to Fell 2.
    “She was driven around to her car parked in Brimham Rocks CP and advised to wait a while before driving back to her hotel in Gargrave.”


    The rescue mission took around a total of 15 minutes, Mr Hudson added.
