Wye Invader - The Impossible journey?

In 1989 the 38 metre (124 foot) Dutch Barge "Wye Invader" sailed across the Channel, round the South Coast, into the Severn Estuary then up the River Wye to Hereford, the largest vessel to navigate the River Wye, including the famous Symonds Yat Rapids, in over 150 years. This is a record of the journey filmed by the crew on VHS video. 23 years later in 2012/13 she was to return back down the River Wye, but that's another story...... http://wyeinvader.uk Wye Invader would like to thank the following, without whose help the ‘impossible’ journey would not have been possible: Pat (former business partner) and Brenda Hooker The James family - Big John, Madeline, David, Little John & Sally for their continued support and the video of the journey Harry Sandra and Richard Barton Fiona Gurney Bernard Jessop (Narrowboat Buccaneer) Tony & Gerald Gardiner (Boatmen - Symonds Yat) LAD REME from Stirling Lines Hereford - (Ballast removal) and lastly, The Goodwin Family for our Hereford mooring for 20 years.
