We signed up for an afternoon of ghyll scrambling and we weren’t quite sure what to expect. What we got was a fantastic afternoon – climbing up and down river banks, diving into the water (with wet suits!) and generally challenging ourselves under the watchful eye of Stuart …

“Canyoning in the mountains, where else would you rather be?”

Esk Gorge Canyoning, if you’ve heard or read about this place you’ll be just so wanting to go. It is such a great gorge. Big jumps… big jumps…. big jumps….

Did I say that three times? oh yes!!!  Esk gorge canyoning is brilliant, you can totally choose which jumps you do and each group member can join in at whatever level of crazy jumping they choose. We take a fall-day in the Esk Gorge. We meet you and head up the path into the mountains, have a snack, get changed and jump in. This is an open gorge and great for people to join us to take pics.

OK, this is level 3 full-on adventure in a gorge. It really is very flexible. We have run this session for Stag group and Hen dos. We have also take a family with a 10yr old. So, we can make this adventure totally applicable to your style of group. But be ready for big jumps, big pools and a totally challenging adventure.

As this gorge is very open there are many sections that you can opt to miss out. So if a member of your group is a bit cautious and wants to come but is not sure they can do it all, they don’t have to worry they can choose. Chat to us and we can give you further info.

The Esk Gorge is based in the Esk river in the middle of the Lake District.  You will meet us at the bottom of the Hardknott pass. We’ll give you directions at booking but you can access this venue from the West down Eskdale or journey over the Wrynose and Hardknott pass from Ambleside.

Half-day sessions run as follows:

Full-day sessions run as follow:
9:30 am to 4:30 pm. That’s seven full hours of activity.

We realise how valuable your time is and this reflects in our attention to giving you a full session. We always get to the meeting venue early arrange our kit and make sure we are ready to go. This enables us to optimise the contact time with you, giving you real value for money and attention to your experience.

Half-day activities are really fun and do combine very well with other activities. E.g. many people book rock climbing or abseiling in the morning and ghyll scrambling or canyoning in the afternoon.

These half-day combinations and our all-day sessions can be viewed here: Mix n Match options on this page here.

The kit we provide:

For all our ghyll scrambling and canyoning sessions, we provide full-length wetsuits with arms.  These are very flexible and comfortable. We have a wide range of sizes to enable a good fit.

We also provide helmets, harness and buoyancy aids where appropriate depending on which session you are on.

Do you need to bring anything?

Yes, please bring socks and trainers to wear during the session. These must-have laces and be proper shoes (do NOT bring slip-on water shoes).

Under the wetsuit please wear a swimsuit or underpants. If you have a rash vest, thermal top or football shirt, this will be a nice layer to wear but is not essential.
You will need a big towel for afterwards and lads don’t forget a spare pair of underpants.
And lastly, we ask everyone to bring a pair of shorts (ideally board shorts) but these are to give you some dignity and protect the bum of the wetsuit.

As this is an ALL-day activity we will need to carry our kit along the bank of the river to the venue to get changed and so if you have a big rucksack to put the kit in and lunch, warm drink etc it makes things a little easier.

We’ll send you a PDF of info at booking
