Gorge Walking
Scramble, Jump, Slide, and Swim
Submit yourself to the challenges that the natural gorge throws at you.
What is Gorge Walking?
If you are after a wet and wild day out, this is for you. We jump, squeeze, float, and scramble down every rapid, waterfall, or canyon we encounter.
Gorge Walking combines our experience of rivers and rock to provide an adrenaline-packed day to remember. It is an all-year-round activity, perfect for birthday parties, families, and stag/hen groups.

Adverse Conditions & Safety
River Levels:
If the river is high to make a safe trip we will adapt the session or change to an alternative session / location. We can still do the session in the rain.
Swimming Ability:
None required, as you will float in all the equipment. Please advise us if you are a non swimmer or nervous in the water so we can best cater for you during the session. The river is narrow so you are never far from nearest bit of land.
The Challenge
Navigate uneven ground and moving water.
Nature
Peaceful moments in the water on a hot day.
The Jump
Run and jump for the ultimate thrill.
About Our Locations
Dinas Rock (Neath)
In the 19th Century, this area was a Gunpowder Works supplying ammunition for the coalfields of South Wales. The thick deep woodlands and tumbling water made it the ideal location for such an industry.
During a Gorge Walk here, you are scaling waterfalls that were once used to produce power for the works, and you might even see remains of old ammunition structures. It's a history lesson combined with an adventure!
Mid Wales
This is a great venue for those staying along the coast of Cardigan Bay. It offers a stunning gorge running through the Welsh countryside in a quiet, remote area.
It offers the chance for a wonderful exploration in a location that feels forgotten by time—perfect for getting away from the crowds.
Education: Our sites are ecologically important. Your guide can show you the social and natural history of the location, making this an excellent alternative Geography Field Trip.
Common Questions
Glasses: Must have a secure leash/strap. If they fall off, we cannot be held responsible. If they are vital for driving, consider leaving them behind.
