Holiday Cover in the Wye Valley
« on: February 12, 2010, 12:02:04 pm »
I was over in the Wye Valley yesterday for a pub lunch with Mrs Gold (nom, nom, nom, slurp, slurp!) and had a nose around Catbrook etc.

If any of you Chepstow/Monmouth guys go on holiday and want some cover for a couple of days when the clocks go forward give me a shout! It's too far for me to bother with regularly but I often run slack in the summer and it would almost be like a holiday!

But it's got to be picturesque - I wouldn't do round Tosh's gaff cuz it's rough and just like where I live.   ;D

I'd be as cheap as chips errr charge very reasonable rates and promise not to even try to poach it even if they would swoon at my good looks. (Scar on face, bald as a coot and one tooth in the middle of my mouth - if I was a taffy they'd call me Dai central 'eating)
It's a game of three halves!

North West Bristol out to the South Gloucester villages of Olveston and Aust by the Severn Bridge.

I'd come up there for a holiday weekend andy in return for some work! Only half joking too! I've done a bit of canoeing between Hereford and Monmouth and a lot of camping at Llandogo and Whitebrook.

You are a star Roy - but I only use Canadian canoes cuz when I fall out, which I do on most trips I don't have a morbid fear of being trapped!

A few years back we did a run from Hereford to Monmouth and stopped half way to camp at a farmer's riverside field overnight halfway between the two. (Our wives and kids set up camp and spent the day at Hay-on-Wye in the bookshops.)

Anyway we arrive and my middle daughter who was very nervous and about ten at the time is persuaded to get in with me and another guy and sits in the middle and Mrs. Gold says there you go you're as safe as houses....

With that we push off from the side, the current catches the back and plop! Over we go ... only waist high but my daughter hasn't been in a boat since! ::) ;D

You big girl!  Roy, why don't you organise a breakfast followed by a canoe trip for us? When it warms up a bit!   ;D

Sounds good, but i'm a bit worried about your heritage {camikazi} sort of springs to mind. ;D

No Roy, it's Cami-knickers-in-the-Karzi with Tosh.

And can anyone imagine a canoeing trip involving Tosh? He'd stand on a little bridge over the river and smile at you and you'd think you were in a scene from "Deliverance"!  ;D

(Mis-spent teenage years before you ask!)
