About the book

Canyoning – the descent of natural gorges by a mixture of hiking, scrambling, swimming and abseiling – is a mix of the fun and the adventurous. This book includes a selection of recommended gorge descents, ranging from two-hour strolls to long-day aquatic expeditions. The more technical expeditions involve abseiling and scrambling, yet most canyons are within reach for anyone with these skills and, in the case of wet canyons, a one-piece wetsuit. The friendly Mediterranean canyons are great places to 'learn the ropes', and the guide therefore provides a basic grounding in techniques and skills for the less experienced.
