Robert Calloway, a retired engineer, was marooned in his scooter overnight when temperatures plummeted to nearly freezing after venturing out for some fresh air.
He was only rescued after a dog walker spotted him at 9am the following day.
He said: "I just nipped out at 5pm for some fresh air and was going across a bridge when I turned left and got stuck fast in the mud.
"It got very cold and it was quite a frightening experience. I won't go there again in the dark." He says he kept himself occupied by saying prayers.
Mr Calloway, a father-of-two who lives in Crawley, West Sussex, was taken to hospital after his ordeal but did not suffer any serious injuries.
