Canyon Goes LARGE!!

Our Largest, Larger than life (larger that most things actually!) Head Canyon Guide ‘BIG’ Robb Wallace is back from his tour of South America and is keen to cool himself and his clients off in the sparking Scottish waters of the Keltney Burn!

This Weekend saw plenty of people testing themselves down at the ‘jump pool’. There are three main jumps that we build you up to as the guides coach you through the idiosyncrasies of walking about on the slippery rocks, squeezing through bedrock river formations, climbing up waterfalls and perfecting the difficult to master skills of Belly Flopping and Not landing on your AR…………………….. , Posterior!

The first ‘baby’ jump is around the 20ft mark, then a 25ft jump off a higher platform to really get the blood pumping, before venturing up to the really big stuff! The high jump has been measured at 36ft and for the clinically insane there is a running start off a section of the canyon wall. You can’t actually see where you are going to land, but the 40ft plus free-fall (about the height of a three storey building!) gives you plenty of time to spot your mark and plunge into the deep natural cauldron below!! AWESOME!!

The Keltney Burn is running all year (until it gets too cold Oct/Nov). If you enjoy this and want to step it up a little why not book for the Falls of Acharn Canyon trip. With an element of rope-work involved this spectacular canyon situated to the south of Loch Tay is a must for anyone who has been bitten by the Canyon Bug. BOOK NOW.

The SPLASH TEAM.

The RAF have taken to the water!

The first week of June saw a group of our regular clients from the RAF spend a 5 day break with Splash. The guys managed to fit in rafting, duckies, mountain biking at Wolftrax, river bugging and more canyons that you can shake a stick at. They also managed to find some time to fit in some cultural activities like visiting the Black Watch Musem.

All to soon their adventure break was at a end and they had to say good bye to the lodge on the hill at Glassie Farm where they seemed impressed with the accommodation standard.
