About this Event
A Full day of Adventure! Abseil and Canyoning
First we head to the breath taking Hodge Close Quarry to tackle one of the biggest abseils in the Lake District.
Under the watchfull eyes of our expert climbing instructor you will descend 40 metres into the depths of Hodge lose quarry. Our qualified and experienced instructors will ensure you are well fitted into your harness and helmet, before teaching you everything you need to know to descend smoothly and safely down the wall. All the while keeping you 100% safe on a backup line.
Once you have completed your abseil you will have chance to explore one of the most unique locations in the area, before heading back to your start location. Numbers dependent, there may even be chance for a second abseil aswell!

After lunch you will make your own way to Coniston village, approximately 10-15 minutes drive away. From here your expert instructor will kit you out in wetsuit, neoprene socks and bouyancy aid (life jacket) before you make your way into the most exciting venue in the area…Church Beck Canyon!
Our ghyll scrambling and canyoning guides are experts in their field and know these venues inside and out. They will keep you safe and make sure you have an incredible time as you wind your way up the lower ghyll, tackling small obstacles, waterfalls and jumps.
From here, those that wish, can then tackle the upper canyon. In the upper canyon you will be faced with bigger jumps, slides and scrambles. It’s not for the feint hearted, but remember this section is totally optional…but highly recommended!
