Esk Gorge Ghyll Scramble

Activity Overview

Esk Gorge is located in a beautiful and remote valley of Eskdale. The Esk Gorge Ghyll Scramble features bigger jumps and deeper water than typically found in other Lakeland Ghylls. As such, it’s not for the faint-hearted, and not really suitable for young children. Due to its remote position, we run this as a full day activity.

Typically, we will meet you in Eskdale at a time of your choice (see map below). We’ll then kit you up with the equipment we need and set off walking to the gorge which takes approximately 1 hour. Once we arrive, we’ll then get changed into our wetsuits and the safety equipment and get started. The activity itself usually takes 2-3 hours.

Activity Prices:

This activity is priced per person assuming a group of four or more. If your group is less than four, we charge a flat rate. Your booking will be treated as private unless you give us permission to open it up to the public as a scheduled activity. This could lower the overall cost in line with the rates below:

  • 1-3 participants: £230 flat rate
  • 4-6 participants: £60 per person
  • 7-8 participants: £55 per person

How many can participate?

We believe that keeping group numbers low enhances your experience. Therefore, we run this activity with a maximum of 8 people.
