Gorge Walking Opportunity
Rosyth District Explorer Scouts are planning a Gorge Walking weekend
on Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th September 2009.
What is Gorge walking?
In short, it involves ascending or descending a river, jumping into pools, climbing up waterfalls, traversing along rock walls and generally having a good time.
We have been offered this opportunity by our friends at Craggan Outdoor Activity Centre in Grantown-on-Spey.

After getting kitted out in full-body wetsuit, you slip into the rock pool at the bottom of the gorge and acclimatise to the fresh mountain water.
Then led by your instructor, you scramble and clamber up small waterfalls, gullies and chutes until reaching the plunge pool at the top of the gorge.
Climb up the rocks and do just that... a ten foot plunge back in!
Once everybody`s had enough of that, it`s off back down again, slipping and sliding down all those gullies and chutes.

The cost of the weekend will be £45 including the Gorge Walking, transport and accommodation on the Saturday night.
Places are limited and will be accepted on a first come, first served basis and on receipt of a £10 deposit.
