The Thrill of Cannyoning

The sport of Canyoning may be relatively new to, but growing rapidly in popularity. It can be called an extreme adventure sport. Some of the canyons are spectacular. You can enjoy the breathtaking scenic beauty of the Scottish country side. Cannyoning is a top favourite with stag groups who are just raring to go and want to indulge in their spirit of dare devilry.
Geared in protective clothing which even covers your face, you climb up a rocky gorge and slide or plunge into the frothing white waters of the river. The current pushes and pulls you along. It is a glorious feeling careening through the water, fills you with the sheer joy of the adventure. Your experience involves adrenalin pumping river swims, cliff jumps, rock slides and scrambles, this trip is excellent for those looking to push their adventure levels!
Canyoning can be a half or full day activity and a good general level of fitness is required i.e the ability to walk up a small hill without collapsing from exhaustion!
Canyoning can be combined with a land activity if you are looking for multi-activity day ideas or if you just love the feel of rubber - stay in neoprene all day and combine it with rafting...click here to know more about The Thrill of Cannyoning.
