GYHLL SCRAMBLING

Ghyll scrambling is a challenging activity involving working your way up or down a groge containing a river. The sport takes place in outdoor spaces, in places suchas the Lake District. The idea of Ghyll scrambling involves traversing along rock faces, hopping across boulders, climbing up waterfalls, sliding down natural rock and plunging from up to 8 metres into deep pools of water.

SKILLS NEEDED

Every obstacle can be by passed if you really don’t fancy taking part in it and apart from the optional jumps; the water rarely comes above waist height; so you don’t need to be a strong swimmer. Good communication skills between the groups are essential in this activity to ensure health and safety. This activity is suitable for people of all ages and levels of fitness. 

Equipment required:

• Helmet
