"Please be aware there are patches of mud surrounding the rocks on the beach behind Leasowe Golf Club/Leasowe Castle HoteL.

"If you do get stuck: Stay calm, avoid moving too much and spread your weight by sitting down, this will stop you sinking further.

"Also discourage people from trying to rescue you as they may get stuck too.

"Call 999 and ask for the Coastguard."
