Bushcraft expert and TV presenter, Ray Mears traveled the length of the Wye in August 2015 making his documentary "Wild River". He describes the Cambrian Mountains area of Mid Wales as "some of the wildest lands in Britain" and he said he felt "inspired by the wonderful wildlife and stunning scenery of this area".
