>Bredwardine >Hereford >Hoarwithy >Ross on Wye >Symonds Yat >3 nights.
Arrived at Canoe The Wye (located in the grounds of the Paddocks Hotel, Symonds Yat West, HR9 6BL) around 9:30 Friday morning. After checking in with the friendly and really helpful staff, we given our life jackets, oars and watertight barrel. We were shown the river extraction point (for when we got back) and then unpacked the car and loaded our gear into the Canoes ready for the off. We were taken by mini bus to our srart point and after having had our safety breifing, we were helped down the river bank and into our canoes with all our gear (camping for 3 nights).
The itinerary 58 miles:-
