The Usk, January 2009
PLEASE NOTE:
UNTIL WE HAVE COMPLETED
THE WORKS AND SIGNAGE AT LLANGYNIDR AND BELOW, PLEASE DO NOT CANOE BELOW THAT POINT. DO NOT EGRESS ABOVE THE BRIDGE AT LLANGYNIDR.
PLEASE NOTE: RESIDENTS NEAR THE SENNYBRIDGE ACCESS POINT HAVE BEEN SUFFERING CONSIDERABLE DISRUPTION WITH CANOEISTS PARKING & CHANGING IN FRONT OF NEARBY HOUSES. YOU MUST READ AND FOLLOW THE ACCESS INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SITE.
We have negotiated a number of access and egress points for canoeing on the following 3 reaches, each of which has its own specific conditions. You are asked to remember that the right to cross land and canoe is given freely by generous owners and we rely on sensible use to sustain these arrangements. Please read carefully the terms of the reach before setting off.
Over the coming months, the access arrangements will be finalised and permanent signs will make routes much clearer. Given success with these arrangements, further reaches can be negotiated. Please let us know of any issues via the contact us page. It is important that you appreciate that the Upper Wye and Usk are not suitable for novices and should not be attempted by them unaccompanied.
The Usk is
a Special Area of Conservation and care should be taken not to damage
any bankside feature or disturb wildlife.
The following conditions apply:
Please proceed in a generally downstream direction
-
Use only the designated egress and access points for landing save in emergency
-
Follow the directions of anglers as to which side you should pass them
-
Take all your litter home
-

-
Consent ONLY applies to the reaches indicated and does NOT imply or authorise canoeing on any other tributary or stream.
