Gorge Walking by Erin M P7c 1.11.06

Before going on a gorge walk you must gather some essential equipment. A helmet must be worn incase you slip and hit your head on a rock, a pair of gorge walking boots, a blue sheep costume/teddy-bear suit(which is a pair of navy, wool-lined dungarees and matching jumper) which helps to insulate you against the cold.
It is a 10 minute bus drive then a 15 minute walk after that to get to the waterfall that the gorge walk takes place on. There is a small climb to an area where you can slide down. Beware...the water is very cold!
When you are climbing up the waterfall do not put any part of your body on the green, mossy rock as it is very slippy. Instead use the pink-coloured rock to climb on.
As you move further up the gorge you come to large pools of water where you may either jump into or swim in. These are also very cold! If it has been raining, on the way back to the bus jump in all the muddy puddles and cover yourself in mud. When back at the centre you hand in all your muddy, wet gear and run off to the the nice, hot sauna...
