Canyoning

Category: Earth

Abseiling into a Canyon The idea is to follow the water downwards through the more inaccessible Gorges and Canyons of the Lake District, over drops into pools, down chutes and through deep water.  This involves walking, scrambling, climbing and swimming.  Vertical drops are either jumped or abseiled from in situ bolts.  The situations are often breathtaking with dramatic unspoilt scenery, at times the sky can disappear from view as the walls close in above you, the water may take you through huge boulder chokes or even underground for a while.  They can be long and arduous or easy and short but be warned they are all about FUN and are seriously addictive!

Brilliant activity for those that are of a go for it mentality.
