Discover Gorge Walking

Discover Gorge Walking

Gorge Walking (or Canyoning as it is known in other parts of the world ) is one of the most natural thrills in the extreme world as it is simply you, your buoyancy aid and whatever is in your way! Up, down, across or through - it's over to you and your team to successfully make your way through any terrain that is in your way! This fantastic exploration adventure of Wales is perfect for getting outdoors and having fun, whilst exercising just about every muscle in your body!

Agenda

Once you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre your day will begin with a safety brief and being issued with your safety gear. Then you'll follow your instructor to the Gorge where he or she will guide you as you make your way up (or down) a narrow, deep cleft carved in the side of a mountain by the river. You'll find yourself wading, swimming, sliding down rocks, jumping into pools and swimming underneath waterfalls, and you'll have a great time traversing anything in your way! After a break for lunch you'll drive to another Gorge, and do it all again!
