So what the heck is Canyonning? Canyonning is a relatively new sport, but one that is rapidly growing in popularity. It is probably best described as a mix of activities involving cliffs, gorges, rivers, waterfalls and escarpments. From entering the river, your canyonning adventures will encompass adrenalin pumping swimming through rapids, cliff jumps, rock scrambling and navigating huge waterfalls. Obviously the locations where canyoning can be untertaken are limited, but where it does take place you can expect stunning scenery and an experience that can only be described as awesome.

When can I do it ? Canyoning runs for most of the year in the UK, although the cold water and weather means that it requires some hardy stamina to take part in the extremes of Scotland during winter.

Anything else? Canyonning does not require you to be hugely fit, however it can get quite exhaustiing if you do it for a full day. Therefore a certain level of fitness is required.
