Gorge Walking In The Brecon Beacons

Swansea Gorge Walking in the Brecon Beacons

Overview:

For those of you who fancy something a bit more strenuous and rewarding than the average stag-do fare, take to the Sychrydd Gorge in Wales’ fantastic countryside and try your hands at the extreme sport of gorge walking.

This is not to be confused with hiking. Your walk will include climbing, scrambling, swimming in rock pools and jumping into plunge pools as you negotiate the natural obstacles that the three mile walk presents.

You do need a basic level of fitness but the guides will look after you and tailor the walk to match the capabilities of the group.

Notes:
- This is a full day event.
- All clients will be provided with canoe helmets and buoyancy aids as minimum and offered Wellington boots and waterproof jackets. Wet suits are issued November to April.

Canyoning, Rafting or Coasteering (Half Day)

Overview:
This is the ideal event for those wanting to take advantage of some of the stunning scenery in the area.
Most of the events will require teamwork and some encouragement - it's a great way for people who don't know many of the group to feel comfortable, as well as the old buddies sharing some incredible adrenaline rushes!
Pick any one of the events below and brace yourself for an active day.

Canyoning:
Canyoning is traveling in canyons using a variety of techniques. You will cover a distance of 4 km, descending 200m down waterfalls and rapids, abseiling, scrambling, swimming and jumping, the highest jump being 30ft! This is a high adrenaline activity ideal for adventurous groups with a taste for challenging physical activities.

White Water Rafting:
Wales offers some challenging grade 3 rapids up to 10km in length. Each raft will have an expert instructor to help you navigate your way and try to keep you inside the raft for as long as possible.

Coasteering:
Very similar to Canyoning but the trick's in the name. Rather than traversing your way through a canyon, this is done on the coast where you have to make your way around the coastline by any means possible. You'll be climbing, scrambling, jumping and swimming throughout the event.

Duration:
- The events all run from 10am - 2pm

Upgrade:
- Those that have either Canyoning or Rafting before or are looking for something more extreme, both can be upgraded to more challenging courses. The event will run from 10am - 4pm on these upgraded event. If you're interested, please ask for details.

Notes:
- A DVD video of your day is provided after the activity for free

Gorge Scrambling

Overview:
Gorge scrambling involves exactly what it says on the tin. Grab your tin opener and what do you have? - yep, scrambling through gorges. A top activity for the adventurous who have harbored a fascination for clambering over rocks, climbing through wet crevices and jumping into plunge pools ever since they watched 'The Goonies' all those years ago. You'll need to have a basic level of fitness but the guide will look after you and tailor the activity to match the capabilities of the group, especially if some of the guys have beer bellies that have seen a 'truffle shuffle' or two.

Format:
You'll be kitted up by your instructors, who'll give you a thorough safety briefing. You'll then hit the start point, where, led by your instructors, you'll begin your ascent into the gorge. You'll find plenty of tricky terrain to traverse, along with rocky outcrops and plunge pools to jump into. Great fun.

Duration:
- Actual event lasts for 3 hours, travelling time is additional 1.5 hours (round-trip).

Notes:
- A packed lunch for everybody can be included for £6.50. (Recommended - needs to be pre-ordered)
- Every participant will need to submit a Health & Saftey form prior to the event and provide height and weight information several weeks in advance so appropiate wetsuits and kit can be put aside.
- If there has been an abnormal amount of rain it is possible that the gorge could flood and the event not go ahead. Only a partial refund will be offered if the event is cancelled at late notice.
