Wye Invader Two left Sharpness at 06.50 on 11th July 2018, by 21.00 she had reached Llandogo on the River Wye, the first known narrowboat to do so since Bernard Jessop with 'Buccaneer" in 1992.
Careful pre-planning with several recce's to the proposed mooring and a study of tide times and heights was checked beforehand. On the day, a stop at Chepstow for several hours was needed as the tide turned, she moved off Chepstow on the tide at 16.10, then a short stop on a private jetty at Tintern before moving off again to Brockweir and then Llandogo, arriving at 19.00.
