Gorge Walking is a more 'extreme' version of our popular ghyll scrambling experience often known as Canyoning or gorge scrambling! Great fun, very wet, and personally my favourite day in the Lake District for adventure groups!
We take our groups to Esk Gorge, in one of the more remote areas of the Lake District. The time it takes to drive there from Keswick or Ambleside and walk into the gorge is certainly worth it, as the full day experience is totally unique, and incredible fun - of all of our activities, this is the one the instructors want to work on 🙂 For those who want to get wet, Gorge walking can only be described as a high adrenaline experience day, one which won't be forgotten in a hurry.
What if water levels are high / low?
The Gorge is extremely changeable, and each trip will vary depending on the water levels - which do go up and down quite a lot in the Lake District! No matter what the water levels are, every trip will involve rock scrambling, big waterfalls, and bigger jumps Whilst you are gorge walking, our extremely experienced instructors will be with you in the water, showing you the best way to take up and down the gorge, and where to aim when your jumping into the pools - then it's up to you to hurl yourself into thin air!
Gorge scrambling is a terrific activity for those who really want to try something different.
