In this latest extreme sport participants navigate their way through river gorges and waterfalls, throwing themselves off escarpments, abseiling down steep drops and scrambling up rocks. Safety comes first of course and you’ll be supplied with helmets and wetsuits for full protection. So the question is, are you ready to jump down a waterfall? If so, check out these links:

Coasteering was first developed in Pembrokeshire in the 80s and 90s but its popularity has spread far beyond the Welsh coastline. Coasteering is known as the “saltwater cousin” of canyoning: instead of waterfalls, you’ll be negotiating your way around the coastline through an exciting mixture of scrambling, climbing, traversing, cliff jumping and swimming. Fancy an ultra-refreshing dip in the sea? See these websites:
