We’ve had a grant from our county councillor to reduce the cost of this trip.<p>
Our first ever canoe expedition will see us travelling a total of 13 miles down the River Wye to Monmouth. Good things about rivers?&#8200;They have a current which means it isn’t too much effort to paddle as the river carries us with it!  This is a good thing as we will also be carrying with us everything we need to camp overnight (in big waterproof bags and barrels.. just in case....)<p>
We will travel to Monmouth by minibus before going to our start point. Having loaded everything we need into our canoes, we will paddle down the river (2-3 people in each canoe)&#8200;until we reach Biblins campsite - conviniently located right next to the river. <p> We’ll stop there, put up tents, cook a meal and stay overnight.<p>
The following morning we will pack everything back into the canoes and continue down until we reach Monmouth at which point we will jump in the bus and come home again.<p>
The canoes come with a qualified instructor who will be present at all times when we are travelling. At the moment this trip is only open to boys, unless we can find a female adult willing to camp overnight. Please feel free to volunteer!
