Ross-on- Wye
After four sodden weeks at the seaside, Tony Baker and Jenny Powell plunge into a PGL activity holiday on the river Wye.
Co-starring in these tales of the river bank are Sandra Roberts and Emma Jones , the two new presenters from Wales, appearing under slightly false pretences because Ross-on-Wye is just over the border in England. It's an orgy of outdoor pursuits, abseiling, motocross, horse riding, and grass ski-ing.
