There's a warning from West Sussex Fire and Rescue for everyone to take care while out and about in the countryside.
It follows the rescue of a boy in Steyning who had become trapped in brambles.
Crews were dispatched after he fell approximately four metres down a steep ledge while walking along a footpath.
The incident occurred on Monday afternoon and rescuers used a two line rope system to bring the boy to safety.
A spokesperson for West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service said: “On Monday (28 July) we were called to rescue a person from a rural location in Steyning.
“Joint Fire Control mobilised two fire engines and the Technical Rescue Unit to the scene where a boy had fallen from a footpath approximately four metres down a steep ledge.
“Crews used a two line rope rescue system to rescue the boy who was trapped in brambles and bring him to safety.
“When you’re out enjoying our beautiful countryside this summer, please take extra care around steep drops and uneven footpaths. In an emergency, always call 999. Using What3Words can help our crews to locate an incident in remote areas.”
