Highlights

Prepare for extreme Adventure!
Take a walk into the most beautiful and remote location in the Lake District and spend an epic day in the mountains. Overlooked by towering hills, the Esk Gorge is for those on a quest for extreme aquatic adventure! Swim, scramble and jump into the clear emerald-green waters of this gorge. With so many jumps - some up to 8 metres high - this is a day out you'll remember forever. 

A very physical day that involves a 45-minute walk into the mountains. You'll carry your wetsuit, safety equipment and lunch. You will change once you arrive at the venue. Our expert guides know the ghylls intimately and will tailor the day to your group offering up loads of fun challenges along the way. All the challenges, jumps, pools and climbs are optional.

This is the ultimate adventure for adrenaline seekers.

Put on one of our high-quality warm wetsuits which are always clean, dry and well-fitted and let us guide you through this beautiful gorge. We provide all the necessary safety equipment and instruction so all you need to do is sit back and enjoy the adventure! 

We take photos and send them to you FREE at the end so you will have memories you'll remember forever.

Age 14 upwards. A good level of fitness is required for this activity - this is a very physical day.
