Adventure Equipment Ltd Whether you want to enjoy a peaceful day on the river with a waterside picnic, or spend a weekend or holiday exporing an area 'off the beaten track' moving between campsites or B&B's; canoe or kayak touring offers a peaceful and environmentally-friendly way to travel. We welcome responsible canoeists will enjoy the river and countryside, leaving it as they found it; treating wildlife and other river users with respect. If you are not sure about your ability for unaccompanied canoe hire; we offer Guided Tours and a 'River Awareness' Day. We can also arrange skills training courses at various levels from beginner to open and white-water. |

Pick-up / Drop-off point. - this is a point at which you may finish your journey. We will collect canoes from these points. Starting at these points may be available by prior arrangement. A fee is payablefor starting anywhere on the Wye other than our base. Launching/landing point - canoes may be launched or landed here. Unless stated, these are not pick-up/drop-off points. Landing point - canoes may be landed here for access to facilities etc Camping - camp-site beside or within reach of the river (unless otherwise stated). Inn/Pub etc. Where these are listed, it is normally possible to land to visit the Inn./pub NB - the information on this page has been collected to aid our clients in planning a tour on the Wye. Information has been drawn from the operators and from various published sources. We cannot accept responsibility for any errors and omissions, and recommend that you check details in advance. Note that many of the campsites are very basic, and some need advance booking. The river changes constantly and may rise rapidly in wet weather. Where rapids or weirs are marked, these are the particularly significant ones. There are numerous small rapids, weirs and other hazards along the route; you are advised to be sure of your ability before hiring canoes and/or kayaks, and to proceed on the river with due caution. Much of the river is remote and hire is completely unsupervised. You are responsible for your own safety on the river. If you are unsure of your ability, a River Awareness Day may be of interest to you. Other, larger, craft will be operating on some sections along the river. Canoeists should be aware of the Waterways Code. River levels can be viewed on webcam. 05600
