We did Gyll Scrambling, brilliant activity to do while visiting the lakes Kids aged 9&10, they love the outdoors and are fearless so they got stuck straight in and we all had a brilliant afternoon together Highly recommend if looking for something a little different to do

My 10 year old son and I did the ghyll scramble at Coniston with Mark yesterday… what an amazing experience… we both loved it, great bonding time, we did climbing techniques, slid down waterfalls, jumped into plunge pools, floated around and scrambled… I chose to wear my waterproof Hokas with foam soles … they were amazing buoyancy aids :-) which made putting my feet down a little tricky… but I could float like an otter very easily! Excellent knowledge from mark and great encouragement throughout, we felt safe and challenged throughout!

We did the morning canyoning session with Scott who was absolutely brilliant - he was kind and reassuring, explained everything clearly, and didn’t drop us during the abseils which was an added bonus. We went into the activity not really knowing what to expect but it was one of the most exciting experiences we’ve had. Thanks for a great time!

Mark Walker

We liked it very much. This was our first experience. In the future we go canyoning more often.

Great scrambling session with our instructor Paul - really personable and tailored the session to suit the group. Would highly recommend if you have an adventurous spirit!

Had a great day Ghyll Scrambling with my team from work. Si was a superb instructor; patient, calm and happy to get loads of photos/videos along the way. I would 100% recommend using the business for a well organised and fun day out.
