Ghyll Scrambling/ Canyoning
Over the last couple of years this sport has increased in popularity, with such exciting gorges, stunning scenery and exhilarating waterfalls it is easy to see why.
Ghyll Scrambling – this term refers to walking and climbing up a river flow, staying within the water course the challenge is to push against the water and climb over the obstacles it has created. A Ghyll in a word describe a narrow stream of water, it is this which we scramble or climb up.
Canyoning – is used to describe following a water course down through a gorge or waterfall section. Following a stream through a vertical wall canyon has an exciting atmosphere and is an experience like no other. We have many canyons to chose from depending on how much excitement you are looking for.
