Gorge Walking And Canyoning

-

Gorge walking is a perfect outdoor activity for families seeking a fun outdoor adventure. It involves getting kitted up in specialist outdoor equipment and enjoying wild swimming through natural pools, small jumps, fun slides down natural water flumes and scrambling and sliding down some of Scotland’s most beautiful gorges. Canyoning is its big brother, and is descentonl­y through a series of jumps, slides and abseils. However, if you want to go up and not down, the Via Ferrata in Kinlochlev­en is just for you. Italian for “iron path”, this mix of fixed cable, staples, ladders and bridges is run by Vertical Descents whose director, Ben Starkie, will be pleased to show you the ropes.
