Spend a day exploring the adventurous side of the northern Lake District with a varied outdoor challenge based in the Borrowdale Valley. Combining climbing, heights, water and spectacular scenery, this experience offers a rewarding mix of activities in one of the area's most popular adventure destinations.
The day begins with a guided rock climbing session on natural Lakeland rock. Your instructor will introduce the techniques needed to climb safely while helping you build confidence on a selection of routes suited to the group. Whether you are new to climbing or have previous experience, the session is tailored to provide an enjoyable challenge.
After reaching new heights on the rock face, it's time for one of the biggest moments of the day as you tackle a substantial abseil. Under the guidance of your instructor, you'll descend from above and enjoy a completely different perspective of the surrounding landscape.
For the final stage of the adventure, you'll either take to the water or continue the action on land. Depending on the chosen option and conditions, you may paddle along a winding river before reaching Derwent Water and visiting some of its islands, or head to one of the area's most entertaining ghyll scrambling routes, where natural slides, flowing water and rocky obstacles provide a fun finish to the day.
