What kit do I need to bring?

When ghyll-scrambling or canyoning, nobody enjoys getting cold and for this reason we provide the very best canyoning-specific wetsuits. You will get a set of long-john bottoms with a hooded jacket made from toasty-warm and flexible 5mm neoprene. Our instructors will carry a group bag containing all the equipment needed to keep you safe which allows you to focus on having maximum fun. We will also take digital photography of your experience which we email to you absolutely free of charge.

We provide:

Canyoning wetsuit long-johns and jacket

Neoprene oversocks

Helmet

Buoyancy aid (Where appropriate)

Spray top (Where appropriate)

You need to bring:

Footwear (trainers or walking boots ideal. Please don’t bring wetsuit boots or sandals)

Swimwear (to wear under your wetsuit)

Shorts (to wear over the top of your wetsuit)

A spare change of underwear and a towel

Packed lunch (for the Esk Canyon experience)
