WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU NEED TO GO CANYONING?

“The first thing you should take with you is a wetsuit. They’re generally two-piece wetsuits – long john’s and a jacket – which are great to regulate your temperature, as when you’re walking it can be quite warm and when you’re in the canyon it can be quite cold.”

“Wetsuits come with extra padding in the knees and elbows and you’ve normally got a hood as well. So we can make ourselves really warm if we need to. One of the most important things after the wetsuit is the footwear – there are lots of shoes that are specifically for canyoning – with good grip, good ankle support, designed to be in the water. They’re really important.”
