Wye Canoes are proud to sponsor a number of charities and help fundraisers wherever possible. Every year we have a number of groups raising money for worthy and needy causes, we have details of the two Wye Canoes Charity Challenges below.
These River Wye canoe challenges are not for the average paddler and each person participating needs to understand exactly what they will be taking on. You will be paddling over 20 miles per day and travelling at around 2-3 miles an hour that means over 7 hours paddling most days.
Preparation is very important and groups must understand that they will be travelling at the pace of the slowest canoe so team work is essential. Groups must carry plenty of supplies such as, water, suncream, high energy snacks, warm clothing etc, and mobile phones are a must.
We are all experienced and qualified Rescue Emergency Care First Aiders at Wye Canoes and White Water Rescue staff are on call 24 hours a day, but when you are 20 miles from us, on your own, you need to be prepared for any situation.
We are able to provide highly experienced and qualified instructors and river guides for your canoe trip, simply ask when requesting a quote.
Ross To Redbrook – approx 23 miles
Whitney to Redbrook – approx 75 miles
