Boy's River Ordeal

Three boys faced a river ordeal after finding a dinghy in Spotland and sailing it into Rochdale town centre. When one of the boys got out to test the depth of the water the dinghy capsized.

After struggling in the water the boys scrambled to the river bank and called for help. After being treated for shock and exposure at hospital they were allowed to return home.
