Gorge walking, Gorge Scrambling and Canyoning are all good, extra caution must be taken for debris from falling trees and stones with the dry conditions.

COASTEERING CARDIFF, SWANSEA, PORTHCAWL, CARMARTHEN PREDICTED WEEKLY REPORT - This week is not looking good for Coasteering, the swell is big through the week which would make conditions unsuitable. The main day that may be good would be Monday when the swell is 2 feet and the winds are Easterly which could mean classic Coasteering conditions in the South Wales area.
OUTDOOR ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES CARDIFF, SWANSEA, PORTHCAWL, BRECON BEACONS, SOUTH WALES REPORT SUMMARY - Good conditions for Canyoning, Gorge Walking and Gorge Scrambling this week. Could do with some rain throughout the region to get the rivers in better flow but still acceptable river levels at this point. We have Michael and the group on their Stag weekend in Cardiff who are with us Canyoning on Saturday after a big week of Outdoor activities and events. Coasteering is not looking good until next week when there may be good conditions on Monday and possibly Tuesday. The surf is looking very good for the next few days with big swells and lighter winds.
