Outdoor Activities: Gorge Walking

Outdoor activities in Wales such as, gorge walking is an excellent sport that is great for an adult/family event, and it also has great benefits for those looking for a team building exercise.

Adult/Family Activity:

Gorge walking is a very exciting activity that involves scrambling up rocks, jumping into plunge pools, sliding down natural water slides and abseiling down waterfalls.

Gorge walking is a highly enjoyable activity that will bolster your confidence and provide a real physical challenge. This activity is very popular with visiting adults and families. There will be many situations where you will have to work together to overcome obstacles. Along the way, there will be plenty of opportunities to learn about the local environment, history, geography and geology.

We will always start in a relatively gentle area whilst you learn some basic techniques to help them to have more fun adventure in the gorge. There are various challenges such as climbing up waterfalls or scrambling up rocks or sliding down the rocks into deep pools of water. This activity takes place in some of Wales’s most beautiful gorges, most are designated SSSI. For this reason alone careful attention must be paid to instruction. If it’s a gorge that we climb up, you’ll have waterfalls gushing down next to you and white water splashing against your face and under your feet. If it is a gorge we descend, then you can sit and slide as you’re carried (not too speedily) down the rapids. No previous experience is needed to gorge walk all you need is a “Have A Go spirt”.

Gorge walking is a great way to eliminate stress and enjoy nature’s beauty. We have a range of locations to suit different ability levels from those who may be a little nervous to those seeking an adrenaline fuelled challenge.

Team Building Activity:

Gorge walking is an excellent way to develop motivation, confidence and team spirit. It requires the group to co-operate to overcome obstacles like large boulders, boulder chocks or waterfalls. Trust and leadership needs to be utilised between the group members to enable help them to overcome these natural obstacles. Communication is obviously key to keep the group safe and aware of the next task, passing information up and down the gorge to the team members. The shared experience of an activity that pushes people out of their comfort zone, is physically demanding and at times a real adrenaline rush, this develops team bonging in a fun and exciting way.
