If
you have never
been gorge walking before it is basically having amazing fun in rivers
with the
most stunning Welsh scenery as a backdrop.
You could be climbing waterfalls, crawling
under slabs of rock, swimming
through narrow gullies or jumping into deep pools, with some of the
jumps over
25 foot high. All
you need are a pair
of old trainers, some shorts and plenty of enthusiasm, we supply all
the rest. You
will be kitted out with wetsuits,
helmets and buoyancy aids and at Craig Y Nos Castle you are only 9
miles away
from one of the most exciting gorge walking venues that Wales has to
offer.
With some of the
best instructors and equipment in the country we can take you and your
group on
a gorge walking adventure with jumps, swims, crawls and climbing
thrills to
exceed all other activities.
