THE River Wye has welcomed hordes of raft racers in decades gone by, an event which has raised millions for good causes.

The race originally began as a bet between two pubs, and has continued over the long Spring Bank Holiday weekend most years since.

In 1978, the race originally began as a demanding 100-mile challenge over a four-day period.
