Upon enquiring how we may help him, he told us that his car was unfortunately stuck in the river. Being helpful people, I followed the chap whilst my colleagues started up our 'old faithful’ field marshall tractor, with the winch on the back. From the top of the wall there was no evidence of the car, whereupon the chap explained that it was further up the river around the corner, and pointed towards Battlesbridge. We went down the bank to the riverbed and walked westward towards Fenn Creek - the car still wasn't visible but the chap insisted it was just around the next corner.
