AN adventurous border collie got more than he bargained for when he was out on a walk and went exploring - 20ft down a dangerous cliff side.
Five-year-old Bryn was out with his owner Gordon Joyce on Monday morning (July 16) in a rural area off Elbert Lane, Birtle, when he wandered off a little too far and ended up half way down a cliff.
The dog managed to dig out a platform on a ledge so he wouldn't fall a further 20ft down the incline.
And after a nerve-wracking four-hour wait for help, Bryn was carried to safety by Bury firefighter Anthony Lingard, who abseiled down the cliff and pulled the dog back up with him.
