Fire brigade rescues stranded teenagers from Rudding Park pond
Two teenage boys had to be rescued by firefighters after being stuck in the middle of a pond on Rudding Park's golf course.
Rudding Park has an ‘access pontoon’ to allow staff to cut the grass on an island on the golf course.
The two youths, who were believed to be trespassing, decided to take the pontoon across to the island yesterday evening and made the mistake of letting go of the rope.
The fire brigade was called and officers threw lines to reach the boys and pull the pontoon to shore.
Other than perhaps a dented ego, the boys were both unharmed. Officers advised them on their future behaviour.
