Ghyll Scrambling with Chris – Lake District 🧗‍♀️💦

If you and/or your kids love climbing, splashing, and adventure — Ghyll Scrambling with Chris in the Lake District is an absolute must. 🙌. This might even be my FAVORITE thing we've done in England (though it helped we got lucky on a sunny day)

Led by local guide Chris, this experience takes you right into a mountain stream (a ghyll). You’ll climb small waterfalls, slide over smooth rocks, jump into pools, and help each other scramble your way up the river — all while surrounded by epic Lake District scenery.

It’s perfect for both experienced people and complete beginners who want to get off the beaten path and experience the Lake District in the most memorable way possible.

🧭 Details:

  • 📍 Locations vary (Chris runs sessions near Keswick, Borrowdale & Coniston)

  • 👦 Ages: Typically 7+ depending on confidence and conditions

  • ⏱️ Duration: Around 2–3 hours

  • 💧 Gear provided: Wetsuits, helmets, and all safety equipment

  • 💸 Cost: Around £45–£55 per person

  • 🌐 Book: ghyllscramblingwithchris.co.uk

You’ll end the day soaked, smiling, and proud — it’s one of those experiences you will talk about for years. 💪💙
