First time deep

[Tris30]

I wonder what expierences people have when they stepped in quicksand or mud and sinked deeper than they thought and how deep you sank eventually

Other than playing in pools and shallow play pits the first time I stepped out on to mud thinking it was only a few inches deep and sank deep was around three years ago, I was out with a mate and just looking round for muddy play areas, this one spot was perfect off the beaten track and a few miles from anywhere helpful, It was 300 yards inland from a small tidal river.

I went down fast and from stepping on the mud and was up to my chin in seconds, the mud was super soft and creamy - very sticky and luckily I was able to be pulled out, we later found a old tree branch and used it to gauge the depth the branch was at least four meters and that sank so we knew if I had went under there was no one out
