We had an amazing time with Ross. I have 3 children who vary in ages. 14, 11 and 8. My 14 year old is adventure mad and my 8 year old is more cautious. Ross ensured there was lots of adventure for the eldest boys and gave lots of support…
Cathedral Quarry is a spectacular tribute to the industrial past that formed most of what you see in the Lake District. Your adventure starts with a short walk through the slate to arrive at the lower tunnel entrance of the quarry. You will enter the main cavern and with any luck, there won't be many people around so you can enjoy the peace and tranquillity.
Another tunnel and a short scramble takes you to the upper quarry where you can see the 2 forthcoming abseils. Once at the top, you will be "shown the ropes" and have a practice on safe ground before going over the edge. The first abseil is a good taster for the big one. After that we walk round to the main event, and get set up. You will feel the atmosphere of the location as you lean over the edge and start to descend. A second descent will allow you to simply enjoy it, and once down, we get the torches out to leave through another tunnel.
The activity will take place at Cathedral Quarry, Coniston but other locations are available. The precise location will be agreed upon booking as we are flexible to your preference.
No prior experience is needed; Abseiling is perfect for participants of all levels. Our expert guides ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, providing guidance every step of the way.
Children as young as 8 may be able to participate if accompanied by a participating parent/guardian. Customers should specifically request any child under the age of 12 and this will be subject to approval by Follow Your Path Adventures.

Blooming Fantastic. Ross was amazing, helpful and knowledgeable. Can’t wait to do it again 😀
We had a great morning with Innis, the ghyll scramble was a spot on activity to do with my three boys and Innis new his stuff, we were in safe hands, Liam Daly,
Booked at last minute and Max arranged for us to go with Ross. What a fantastic experience. Ross was knowledgeable about the area and made you feel comfortable and safe. Would highly recommend
We had a great time scambling up Church Beck with Ross. Also lots of jumps and we did the absail. Ross was great at accomodating both a daredevil 13 year old and his less confident mum!
The Ghyll scrambling was soooo much fun. Highly recommend activity if you want some excitement.
I attended with my son aged 10. Instructors were amazing. Equipment was new, fitted well and clean. Such an amazing day, would love to do it again.
We had loads of fun with Innis (standing in for Ross). He was a great guide and we felt both safe and exhilarated, which is just what you need with a teen and a tween eager to test their limits and a more cautious mum :)
We had an amazing day great weather great memories would recommend it definitely. Ross is a great guide.
We had a session with an alternative provider cancelled last minute (8:30pm the evening before) so I reached out to Adventuro and Max managed to organise a session with Ross at Follow Your Path Adventures within an hour, which we were really grateful for. The Ghyll scrambling session itself was…
