Canoeists Rescued

It was a grim day yesterday, bucketing with rain, but somebody was out on the river.
To be precise, somebody was out on the river and needed to be rescued. Around lunch time, there was an ambulance, a fire engine, and a couple of other emergency vehicles heading for the area around Hay Bridge. There's a little island there, and four youngsters had got themselves trapped on it. Fortunately nobody was hurt.
The Hereford Times has the fullest version of the story.
