Gorge Walking and Gorge Scrambling are essentially the same activity held in the same region of the Brecon Beacons Waterfalls, Gorge Scrambling however offers the chance of extending the activity to head into the parts of the waterfalls region not accessible on a normal event. Scrambling enters the deeper part of the Gorge with access to areas of stunning beauty flowing rivers, rapids, bigger jumps, plunge pools and waterfalls.
Gorge Scrambling is a more committed event requiring greater stamina and durability for the resiliant thrill seeking adventurer, both activities take part on a morning or afternoon session .
Depending on your needs or the groups requirements for the event Gorge Walking and Gorge Scrambling should suit all abilities, however if you are looking for bigger jumps, high commitment and an even greater physical and mental challenge take a look at the Canyoning and the Ultimate Mountain Challenge.
