GHYLL SCRAMBLING
Ghyll Scrambling provides the perfect adventure day for anyone - grab a wetsuit and scramble your way up some of the Lake District's most stunning Ghylls.
We offer a range of options to suit first timers with lots of sliding and splashing, to adrenaline-fuelled jumps and climbs.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Ghyll Scrambling - also known as Gorge Scrambling or Gorge Walking - is one of The Lake District's most popular outdoor activities.
You'll climb, slide and jump your way up and down a selection of the best mountain ghylls The Lake District has to offer. There are plenty of fun obstacles including natural rock chutes, crystal-clear pools, and even the occasional waterfall!
The perfect activity for groups small and large, from corporate team-building trips to stag & hen-dos, youth group outings to birthday parties and family fun days out.
GHYLL OPTIONS
A fun beginners Ghyll, taking the path of most fun down the ghyll, by sliding, jumping, swimming and scrambling and taking in the sights and enjoying ourselves on the way!
A great 'choose your level' Ghyll, with 'superman' and 'cannonball' jumps, mini climbs and abseils, scrambles and pools to relax in as we travel up-stream.
A max intensity, full day out; Esk Gorge is not for the faint of heart! With water sourced straight from the tallest mountain in England, dramatic jumps, scrambles and stunning scenery!
We can run any of our Ghylls as private tours for large and small groups, or take you somewhere new!
