THREE kayakers had to be rescued when they got stuck in the Harecastle Tunnel on the Trent & Mersey Canal near Kidsgrove. West Midlands Ambulance Service were called just after midnight on June 4 to the men. Firefighters were already in the water on a boat to rescue the men, who were all safely recovered. None were believed to have been submerged in the water and were discharged at the scene.
