Description
Ghyll scrambling Lake District - The word ghyll scrambling simply means - mountain stream. Depending on the ghyll you visit we will either complete a descent or accent of the gorge of your choice.
Gorge scrambling Lake District involves climbing waterfalls, jumping into pools of water and abseiling as well as some mega slides and other obstacles along the way. Ghyll / Gorge scrambling Lake District is super popular and for a good reason, it is amazing fun. All our sessions are open to all levels of ability and age and you do not need any experience.
Everyone in the Adventuring group will be kitted out with a fitted wetsuit, buoyancy aid, harness and a few other bits of equipment. You will be shown everything you need to know as well as be given a demonstration from your instructor on the jumps, slides and obstacles along the way.
Our ghyll, gorge scrambling or canyoning experience is the ultimate outdoor activity and goes well if you're thinking about making a full day of adventure activities and adding rock climbing or mega abseiling. Equally, go and watch the sunset down over Scafell Pike with our sunset walk which is an incredible experience.
Adventuring run 2 Ghyll scrambling sessions per day throughout the year that last approx 2.5 hours long
- Morning session: meeting at 09.45
- Afternoon session: meeting at 13.15
