GHYLL SCRAMBLING
IN THE LAKE DISTRICT
Lake District Ghyll Scrambling
There's one thing we have a lot of in the Lake District - Water! And there is one thing we definitely can't (so far) control - the weather! And that is why Ghyll Scrambling (also known as Gorge Walking) is the perfect activity to book in on your trip to the Lake District. There are a few different fun ghylls we can scramble here in the Lake District. Some will see you sliding down natural features or jumping into plunge pools, and others climbing up waterfalls. Ghyll Scrambling and Canyoning makes the perfect stag or hen party activity, and if you want twice as much adventure why not combine a ghyll scramble with something like rock climbing or abseiling? Get in touch for more information.
Full technical kit will be provided (wetsuit, buoyancy aids, helmets, harnesses, ropes etc) but you will be required to bring shoes and underclothes for wearing in the ghyll, plus a dry change for after. A full kit list will be provided upon booking. Expect a bucket load of cool pics after your activity too!
