Wet bouldering, Canyoning, Ghyll Scrambling, Rock hopping
Whatever you want to call it, whether it’s a descent or ascent or a splash down the river, it’s a buzz.
It can be as challenging as you want to make it. Ranging from small groups in steep wet gorges involving roped ascents, to the fun of group set challenges. It may involve short scrambles, possible squeezes and crawls or even a rough stream walk. It can take you to places on the fell that you’d never get to unless you were following the water.
We consider this to be very much a seasonal adventure, so we run sessions, if we have a mild Spring from March to October. We find that outside of these times it’s a little chilly.

Duration: 1/2 day, or full day but why not combine with a second activity to make a full day of adventure
