A few weekends ago a crew of eight spent two days paddling the beautiful River Wye, making our way from Hoarwithy to Symonds Yat with an overnight stop in Ross-on-Wye.
With the river running incredibly low, there were plenty of technical line choices to make along the way. It definitely kept us on our toes, but with a bit of planning (and a few well-timed encouragements!) we managed to paddle the entire route without anyone getting stuck or having to wade through the shallows. I'd call that a win!
The Wye didn't disappoint on the wildlife front either. We were lucky enough to spot countless kingfishers, peregrine falcons, red kites and plenty of buzzards as we drifted through one of the UK's most beautiful river valleys.
Two days of canoeing, camping, campfire chats and good company... it's hard to beat.
If this looks like your kind of adventure, keep an eye on the 2027 calendar... there'll be plenty more multi-day canoe expeditions coming soon. πΆποΈ
