Gorge Walking Taster

Gorge Walking Taster

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 getting into your safety gear. Then, you'll be free to explore with your instructor as you make your way up (or down) a narrow, deep cleft carved in the side of a mountain by the deceptively small stream through which you are wading, or swimming. Climbing up raging torrents, secured by your instructor's rope, jumping into deep pools and abseiling down waterfalls - you'll have a great time traversing anything in your way!

Please Note: You will be required to use your own transport to get to and from the activity sites. If you will not have transport available you must let the centre know AT THE TIME OF BOOKING A DATE.
