Gold DofE Canoeing Final

Three teams of canoeists paddled for five days on the River Wye over half term, starting at Whitney-on-Wye and finishing in Ross-on-Wye.

The river level proved to be significantly higher than normal which created greater navigational challenges, as features that would normally be visible, such as beaches, were under the water. The teams experienced almost every type of weather during the expedition.

They all did fantastically well; a special mention for one of the teams whose aim for the expedition was to collect litter along the journey, removed a shopping trolley from the river and paddled with it in their canoe for two days!
