"WHY would you want to spend a week exploring the River Wye?" a friend asked.
Well, there's the canoeing for a start. I spent an, idyllic morning paddling five miles gently down the river, passing otters, buzzards, a cormorant in flight and the flash of colour as a kingfisher swooped.
Alyn English, who runs Yeehaa Outdoor Pursuits, gave a running commentary. He also holds bushcraft and survival days.
Thankfully, my six-year-old daughter Rosie and I managed to survive the trip to Kerne Bridge.
Castles have dominated the area for 1,000 years. We were staying at the slightly less historic but equally charming Mount Annexe, self-catering accommodation with a huge garden that Rosie and her four-year-old sister Daisy just loved.
It is a stone's throw from Symonds Yat Rock, which commands breathtaking views of the Wye Valley.
The river flows along the west of the Royal Forest Of Dean, 24,000 acres of ancient woodland in Gloucestershire which was a royal hunting ground.
Author JRR Tolkien visited the area regularly and is said to have based Middle-earth, featured in The Lord Of The Rings trilogy, on the area.
He was particularly inspired by Puzzle Wood, an eerie, mysterious network of paths laid down 200 years
