Gorge walking by Jay p7c 1/11/06

Before you go gorgewalking it's impotant to wear a helmet incase you fall in the gorge in the gorge and bang your head.

You also need to wear teddy-bear suits to keep you warm and give you an extra layer so that your body heat end keeps the heat close to your bodie.It also stops you from getting hypothermia and getting too cold.Waterproofs are needed to be waterproof and so that you don't get too wet .

You will probably go on a mini bus and stop at the gorge though you have to walk for a bit (whalst wearing the teddy-bear suits this is very uncomfortable).When you get there your instructor SHOULD tell you what to do .Which is cross the waterfall.When climbing you need to put your feet in the rocks above(and get freezing cold hands).Now you have to climb up the other side of the gorge and slide down a rock face on your back,feet first.After that you walk up a bit more and come to a waterfall.Here you need to link arms and walk back into a waterfall.Once your wet you need walk up a bit more and slide down another waterfall but this time you can slide down it into a plungepool, swim to the rocks and climb out freezing.Finally you need to walk back to the minibus get a lift back and warm up.Hope you have a good time gorge walking.
