Vaqas and Yulyia booked a Gorge Walking activity day, and the three of us soon found ourselves in a sheltered woodland gorge near Pontneddfechan.
After being kitted out with wetsuits, buoyancy aids, helmets and safety equipment the intrepid couple were given our comprehensive risk assessment and safety brief.
The first challenges given to Vaqas and Yulyia involved traversing and scrambling sideways, just above the rivers surface, across rocks, tree roots, stones and bridge supports. After this gentle warm-up we made our way midstream and upstream into wilder country.
As the river gains height so too do the number and size of cascades and waterfalls! Making full use of these waterfalls the pair soon found themselves taking a mid-day shower before climbing up the watery cascades and onto the next challenge - squeezing through a small wormhole in the rock and into a 'dragons lair' high on the gorge side.
From here the gorge really steps-up its game and the waterfalls, climbs and jumps become bigger, higher and more exciting. Making their way up, down, up and beyond a series of waterfalls Vaqas and Yulyia were coached through the best jumping techniques and were able to develop their confidence and ability to jump from higher and higher into the deep pools below.
