Oops!
Biker gets sinking feeling as machine is stranded in Burnham mud
 The
owner of this motorbike got a sinking feeling when his machine
became trapped in thick mud on Burnham-On-Sea's
beach on Sunday afternoon (February 17th).
The
scrambler had been riding along the beach close to the town's
pier when his machine sank into the notorious mud at around 3pm,
sparking a rescue bid by sympathetic passers-by.
 A
crowd of spectators gathered along the seafront to watch the incident
- pictured here - unfold.
The
bike was stuck for more than 15 minutes as the group struggled
to pull it free, with the incoming tide edging ever closer.
Luckily
for the bike's relieved owner, the machine was eventually pulled
free and the loss of another vehicle to the mud was averted. In
recent years, Burnham-On-Sea.com has reported on several vehicles
that have been trapped - and even lost - to the mud.
