A sheep stranded alone on a beach for two years has been dramatically rescued \u2013 and booked in for a haircut.<\/p>\n

The hapless ewe, dubbed Woolly, was labelled \u201cthe loneliest sheep in the world\u201d after we told how she had been marooned under a cliff since 2021. But after the Daily Star backed a campaign to save her, sheep farmer Cammy Wilson and his pals sprang into action yesterday.<\/p>\n

Despite perilous conditions, two of them used a winch to lower the others 820ft down to reach the ewe, then slowly lifted her to safety. Woolly was last night resting, and due to have her overgrown fleece sheared today.<\/p>\n

Cammy told the Daily Star Sunday: \u201cThe reason she was stuck for so long is because it was so dangerous. You needed five idiots, and that was us.\u201d He was joined in the rescue by pals Graeme Parker, Als Couzens, Ally Williamson and James Parker.<\/p>\n

The group launched their mercy mission in the early hours of yesterday and managed to corner her in the cave where she had been sheltering. Cammy said: \u201cWe didn\u2019t know what she would be like, but she was the most relaxed sheep I\u2019ve come across in 33 years of doing this. She was so calm and content, and happy to be rescued.\u201d<\/p>\n
