You will need some experience of navigating away from paths and tracks to attend this course and be fit enough for a long day on rough ground.

Gorge Walking, a fun and exciting activity to do with friends or family, takes you up or down a mountain stream sliding or clambering your way along. In the Lake District gorge walking is known as ghyll scrambling; ghyll is an old Norse word for mountain stream and scrambling is a much better description of what you will be doing: you’ll be using hands and feet to find the best way along the ghyll. Gorge walking is an all weather activity: it’s a great way to cool down on a hot day and you are going to get soaking wet anyway so it is a fantastic rainy day activity.

We run our winter mountaineering courses both in the Lake District and Scotland.
