Additional Information
We will provide you with all the equipment you need and our qualified instructors will take care of everything else. You simply need to bring:
- Comfortable and warm clothes to change into after we come out of the gorge
- Spending money for tea/snacks
- Pair of old trousers or shorts to wear over the wetsuit to protect it
- Old boots or shoes you don’t mind getting wet (must be closed toe)
- If you want to wear something under the wetsuit please make sure it is synthetic material (rash vest, technical hiking ‘T’ shirt or similar)
We hope you remember your adventures for years to come so it is okay to bring suitable cameras on our activities. However, please be aware that due to the nature of our gorgewalking and canyoning activities, there will be times where we are wading and swimming. Cameras and phones are very likely to get wet and damaged so do try to waterproof and protect them sufficiently. We cannot be held responsible for damage of valuables.
