Am I wasting my time buying a second rod?

It depends on how often you go fishing. Stating the obvious, a second rod gives you flexibility to fish X2 lines. I fish 2 rods most of the time, but it's good to have a back up option incase you damage a rod.
totally agree Neil, I was also wondering how many stretches / fisheries allow a second rod in the first instance?

Join Hereford and if possible Ross-On-Wye angling clubs. I was a member of Hereford for about 6 years. Birmingham AA also have a stretch on the Wye, but that might have even more. Find out what the club rules re- how many rods you can fish. Also contact local tackle shops and ask about 2 rod stretches that you can fish.

I Hmgave not fished the Wye for 2 years.

Good luck
