You wont need an old fiberglass kayak, i have access to some very good plastic boats and all the safety gear and paddles needed and i have my own kayak trailer that holds about 20 kayaks and a couple of canoes. Myself, Simon and Andy (sourcers apprentice) are all experienced kayakers so we can handle novices and the Wye is an easy river to paddle, even Symmons Yat. Although i have had to rescue a few people who hire canoes and tip them in the rapids with their wee kids on board.
