Get to know: North Lakes Ghyll Scrambles

Stoneycroft & Honister Ghyll

Ghyll Scrambling represents a thriving part of the outdoor industry, widely embraced in the Lake District. A significant portion of outdoor instructors allocate a large part of their season running Ghyll Scrambling sessions, on behalf of their respective centres, or through other service providers. Our primary objective is to deepen the understanding and expertise surrounding the region's Ghylls from an instructor perspective.
