  • The Backpackers Club
    The Backpackers Club www.backpackersclub.co.uk Wye Valley Walk – May 2016 I recently spent six days hiking the Wye Valley Walk, from the mid- reaches in Hereford to the source of the river, near Plynlimon in mid Wales (see http://www.wyevalleywalk.org/ for route etc). I’d started this adventure last October, taking two days to walk the 35+ miles from the sea at Chep- stow, up to Ross-on-Wye. It’s a beautiful part of the UK, as the website says ‘the perfect mix of hill and river walking’, and I was keen to do the rest. I provisionally booked the accommodation for most of the upper sections last November, but was a bit put off by the cost, with limited options in some areas and room prices up to £82/night. I then chanced across the Backpackers Club and started wondering if it might be possible to camp some of the nights instead? In January, I joined the Club, looked at the options in the LPD/FPD etc, bought a lightweight tent and other gear, and went on one of your club weekends, to help get me on the road. Chats with Anne Ling, Geoff, Sarah, Grant, and Roger at the Grand Union Canal, Rickmansworth meet convinced me, ‘why not’? And I promised at the time to write up a trip report if it came off, so here it is. The first day, Sunday, started slowly after a few pints the night before with a friend in Hereford. This section was mainly flat through apple or- chards, though I did come across an unfortunate person being rescued by the Fire Brigade after falling half way down a steep cliff beside the river.
