A seven-year-old boy from Whitley Bay escaped a 15-foot fall from a woodland path into the river below with only 'superficial injuries'.
Seven-year-old Finley Strachan had been enjoying a day out in the sunshine with his family last month at Plankey Mill in Northumberland when he slipped down a bank into the water.
With phone signal limited, Finley’s mum, Aimie Strachan called out for help.
