Coasteering with Vertical Descents

Mention to coasteering to people, as I have recently, and the general response seems to be 'what's that?" Surprising really, as I've long since wanted to give it go. Coasteering is basically following the line of the coast - sometimes on the land, sometimes in the water. It's a mixture of exploring that often hard to reach bit where the sea and the land meet - and jumping in a lot!

Actually, I probably already have. Endless trips to the beach, heading off exploring, swimming in the sea, wandering round the base of cliffs. However, the natural progression is to book on a proper Coasteering trip, with knowledgeable and qualified guides. It all steps up a gear then. They know the best locations, and they also know the best places to jump in!

Vertical Descents based locally in Onich offer a variety of water based activities such as canyoning, fun yakking (nothing to do with hairy cows!) and rafting. They also run coasteering trips. Easedale is a little south of Oban, but is a really good venue for it, especially when you catch it on a gorgeous summer's day as I did.

 

 

Great fun. Highly recommended! Read more about this and other water based activities available in the area on our Water Sports section of our web site.
