A walker has been rescued from a bog after getting stuck waist-deep in mud while hiking on a fell.
It happened at about 14:30 GMT on Sunday on Burnslack Fell near Chipping, Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue Team (BPMRT) said.
The man was "unable to move" so team members secured him with a rope, before freeing him.
"After some food and warming up, the walker was able to walk down the fell to be checked over by an awaiting ambulance," BPMRT said.
