MegaSack DRAW - 6pm Christmas Eve - LIVE on our YouTube Channel
Has anyone ever been canyoning? Did you survive?
unintentionally.
Unintentionally survived?
i was supposed to go over that waterfall [b]in[/b] my kayak....
Yes! I have done it three times and it is the most awesome thing you will ever do! I ended up doing a 20m rock jump into a plunge pool and going down some amazing natural water slides. I went twice in Turkey and once in southern France. Make sure the people know what they are doing and make sure you don't go on a tame root (that would be really rubbish). Hire a wetsuit or you will freeze, good luck!
Yep, done it in Wales near Machnylleth. COLD! Good fun though.
It's awesome. Jumping off a thirty foot waterfall or taking the zip wire? I'll jump thanks.
Massive exhiliration and great fun. Bloody cold though
Did this in Norway instead of rafting - hard hat, wetsuit, life jacket and a guide. It's wonderful being [b]in[/b] the river like an otter, and I'm normally uncomfortable in water (can barely swim) and with heights. You need to be shown where the safe jump-in/slide-down/climb-out points are so that the scary ones are optional. They got progressively bigger and I bottled the last one - it was a scramble up a small cliff and an 11 metre drop!
It's also kinda similar to the coasteering I did in Pembrokeshire. The biggest I managed then was about 10 metres, but it had an easy scramble up and a clean jump-off into a deep pool. Scared me witless!
Do it, it's magical.
I have a chance of going to Interlaken on Friday and saw a you tube video and some of the drops looked a bit mad.
I've been twice - brilliant fun but I was very glad when it was over.
Canyons are graded according to difficulty - I doubt if they'd take you on a really difficult one first time.
Really enjoyed the couple I've done
