A man had to be rescued from mudflats after he took a shortcut on his mountain bike through a Sussex waterway.

The cyclist called the emergency services after he became stuck waist-deep in mud in East Head, Chichester Harbour, West Sussex on Saturday.

The coastguard helicopter was scrambled and the man was airlifted to safety at about 1630 BST.

A spokesman for Solent Coastguard said the man was not hurt in the incident.

He won't be in a hurry to try that route again. On a more serious note that might have been quite a frightening experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

after being stuck, waist down in mud, you'd certainly have brown shorts

I just hope that it wasn't an expensive bike - I wonder what the insurance company would say!
