Canoeing the Wye

[maddydog]

Watched ITV's Countryfile rip off last night about canoeing on the Wye. I've canoed and kayaked both the Wye and Usk (as per the access agreement) and lovely they are. Did think the item would be more amusing and accurate if it featured an angler shouting 'f+@$ off' to the young lady

Was this the series which recently did a piece on caving in Ogof Ffynnon Ddu? If so, can anyone recall which episode, please? Ta

...............or canoests trespassing and damaging property to get to the river - paddling in waters where they have no right to be, disturbing salmon redds in breach of the Salmon and Freshwater fisheries act?

Yep the same thing happens here. They are allowed the tidal stretch of river and that's it

They will probably come up with some brain wave of introducing grizzly bears near to that stretch of river next.

Don't worry, I have a calibre that can deal with that
They're already whittering on about introducing beavers, so nothing would surprise me.

It's funny how all these people have these great ideas on what to do on somebody else's land but would be up in arms if I decided to pitch a tent on their neatly manicured lawn and had a barbecue.

Alright JBM put your handbag down, just amusing myself

Rivers are there for everyone, same as fish.

As usual it's a small minority from both sides of the divide that spoil it for the majority
