General
Description - One of a sequence of trips which we did down the River Wye. If you wanted to, you could combine two or more sections to make a longer day out. There is a fairly strong current in places, nothing dramatic, but take these as one-way trips. Above Hereford there are a few more difficult areas. Fot full details, get a copy of 'Canoeist's Guide to the River Wye', £14.50 from the Environment Agency. Keep an eye out for storms in the Welsh mountains which can raise the river level rapidly.
Public navigation, but be considerate to fishermen - keep to side of river with green markers.
This section about 10 miles, to the centre of Ross-on-Wye. Recovery is at the steps on left bank below Hope & Anchor pub in Ross-on-Wye. Two cars needed or ring for taxi to get back.
Real meanders here, with low hills on either side. At one point the river does 4 miles for half a mile as the crow flies.
