Paddle the Wye Summary

Paddle the Wye: A Guide for Canoes, Kayaks and SUPs by Mark Rainsley

This is a fully revised and updated 2nd Edition, first published as River Wye Canoe and Kayak Guide 2016. The Wye is one of Britain's finest paddle sport touring rivers, and offers something for every kind of paddler. This guide provides the information and advice you need to plan your own Wye journey, whether it's single or multi-day, whitewater or sedate cruising. The author, Mark Rainsley, has divided the river into 15 sections, which are described in detail with distances, grades, access points and campsites. These sections can be paddled as single day trips, or combined into multi-day adventures, and there are suggested itineraries for both white water and touring expeditions that range from 3 to 5 days. To help you plan your journey there is advice on equipment, safety and access, as well as information on wildlife, culture and landscape.

About Mark Rainsley

Mark has spent over three decades using paddle sport as a means of avoiding adulthood and responsibility. He is a fanatical paddler who has descended challenging whitewater rivers worldwide, and who is dedicated to exploring every nook and cranny of the UK's coast and rivers by canoe and kayak. He is a prolific contributor to paddle sport magazines and other media. Mark has authored numerous other Pesda Press guidebooks including South West Sea Kayaking, Paddle Shakespeare's Avon, Paddle the Severn and Paddle the Thames. Mark's earliest experience of paddle sport was on regular family holidays to the River Wye in the 1970s. He floundered around in a barge-like fibreglass kayak, which his dad also used to terrify the family by carrying out a death-defying impromptu descent of the Symonds Yat rapids. In more recent times, Mark has become a parent himself and has relished introducing his daughter to paddle sport via canoe expeditions on the River Wye.
