“One of the finest scenes in Lakeland”

A Wainwright

Lets face it, it's called the Lake District for the most obvious reason so what can you do on a rainy day?.....Yes, get wet!

This is a fun and exhilarating activity for all, best as a group activity, with fun challenges along the way from climbing a waterfall to jumping in the plunge pools. Your adrenaline will be pumping in these gorges which are naturally cut out by the flow of the water over the centuries.

All challenges and obstacles can be avoided if you wish and non swimmers need not feel left out as you will be fitted out with buoyancy aids. All safety equipment is included.

“A special attraction almost unique”

A Wainwright

This event will take place in Stickle Ghyll, above the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel in the Langdale Valley, a wonderful series of waterfalls, scrambles and pools giving a perfect half days challenge.

In Stickle Gill we start at the bottom of the gill and climb up the waterfalls, with plenty of great plunge pools along the way.

All technical equipment required will be provided by The Lake District Walker but expect to get wet so bring some spare clothing to change into afterwards and of course a towel.

Each participant will be required to bring suitable equipment for their chosen event, please see Kit List tab above.

As the ghyll scramble is on farmland the National Trust guidelines for Stickle Ghyll do not allow us to take dogs into the ghyll.
