点评:Myself and husband live local, we had left our car at Lydbrook and using our own canoe were canoeing to Monmouth. Unfortunately whilst starting to go through the rapids at Symonds Yat we lost our only paddle. We were stranded in the river. I managed to scramble up the bank and went to Wyedean Canoe Hire to ask if we could borrow a paddle and would return it the following day. I was met with rude staff who said i could hire one, and wanted proof of identity. I explained the situation that we had no money, my husband was with canoe in the river in heat of 30 degrees. Again I was refused and the male shrugged his shoulders. We eventually managed to get the canoe up a steep overgrown bank and had to phone a neighbour to collect us. My husband and I are in our 60s.
I found the staff rude and unhelpful and would not recommend this business as there are a number of canoe hire places nearby.
翻译:我和丈夫住在附近,我们把车停在莱德布鲁克(Lydbrook),然后划着自己的独木舟去蒙茅斯(Monmouth)。不幸的是,当我们开始划过西蒙兹亚特(Symonds Yat)的急流时,我们唯一的桨丢了。我们被困在了河里。我设法爬上河岸,去了怀迪恩独木舟租赁店(Wyedean Canoe Hire),问他们是否可以借用一支桨,并承诺第二天归还。店员态度很差,说可以租,但要我出示身份证明。我解释说我们没钱,我丈夫和独木舟一起在河里,当时气温高达30度。我再次被拒绝,那个男的耸了耸肩。最后,我们好不容易把独木舟弄上了一个长满杂草的陡峭河岸,不得不打电话给邻居来接我们。我和丈夫都六十多岁了。
我觉得这家店的员工态度恶劣,一点也不帮忙,附近有很多独木舟租赁店,我不会推荐这家店。
