Description
Ghylls are among the hidden gems of the Lakeland. Rarely are their delights
brazenly shown, but coyly revealed at every twist and turn of the journey.
They provide great sport, whether the ascent be wet or dry. The nature
of the sport dictates that this is one activity in which the weather cannot
dampen one's spirits.
During your course we will tutor you in the art of canyoning, covering
all aspects including: appropriate route selection, canyoning skills,
weather interpretation, modern rope handling techniques, fixed belays,
and abseiling.
Location
Go Higher's canyoning and ghyll scrambling courses are run exclusively
in the Lake District through the year.
Favourite outings include: Esk Gorge (pictured at right), Sour Milk Ghyll,
Launchy Ghyll, Birker Falls, Crinkle Ghyll, Link Cove Beck.
