Canyoning North Wales Snowdonia

Clothing & Equipment list for Gorge Scrambling and Canyoning

We will provide wetsuits, harnesses, buoyancy aids and helmets. If you have your own wetsuit you are welcome to bring that along.

Footwear

You will need a pair of walking boots or grippy training shoes or well fitted wellies, which will obviously get wet. These need to have a good rugged grip.

Do not wear Astroturf dimpled style trainers which are unsuitable and dangerous. Flat plimsoll style soles are also unsuitable.

Clothing

You will need to wear a swimsuit under your wetsuit. In addition you should wear a base layer t-shirt such as a Helly Hansen top or similar, but not a cotton t-shirt.

In Spring and Autumn as days are cooler, we also recommend wearing a fleece top. We will provide a spray top to go over this.

No Jewelry, watches or cotton t-shirts!

Getting Changed

You will change out our base at the adventure centre but after the gorge we will get changed at the end of the gorge, which is a basic car park. You can of course come back to the adventure centre but this means driving back in your car in a wet wetsuit so we would suggest seat covers or black plastic bin-liners.

After the gorge walk you will need a towel to dry off.
