Author and local guide Angela Jones tells us how to take a dip as she enthusiastically gives an illustrated talk about her book "Wild Swimming - The River Wye."  Angela is an expert guide on the picturesque and much loved River Wye and its wildlife and will be sharing her decades of passion, knowledge and experience of this wonderful river and its wildlife.

This book has taken Angela over two years to put together and has been written to address the huge increase in the popularity of wild swimming and the worrying lack of knowledge and information needed to swim this river safely.

Angela will introduce you to some of the most spectacular and diverse sections of over 80 miles of the Wye, covering the busy tourist hot spots of Symonds Yat to the serenity of the 200ft red sandstone cliffs of the Scar at Moccas – and you’ll meet some of the Wye’s wonderful wildlife along the way.

The book has 14 swim maps, graded to suit all abilities of swimmer, from just setting out to well- seasoned, experienced swimmers, plus areas suitable for a family dip.
