Abseiling Aberfeldy

What goes up must come
down and you'll learn
about that when you go
abseiling in Aberfeldy!
This outdoor adventure
centre in Scotland is
situated half way between
Loch Lomond and
Cairngorms national parks
nestled alongside the
River Tay. It's a great
place to abseil with an
abundance of crags and
rock faces to tackle.
You'll be spending two to
three hours as part of a
small group being taught
the skill of abseiling.
It's an essential part of
being able to rock climb
(which is a much-loved
pastime in Scotland) and
teaches you how to come
down a rock face using
ropes. A fair bit of
equipment is needed for
abseiling but this is all
provided for you by this
Scottish centre. You'll
be wearing a helmet with
a harness around your
thighs and waist equipped
with what's called a
belay device which will
be attached to the rope.
This gadget allows you to
feed the rope through
smoothly as you descend
using friction so you
don't just whizz off into
the abyss! And if you
don't know your figure...

Via Ferrata Scotland

If you've never tried Via
Ferrata before it's time
to get your outdoor gear
on and have a go at this
exhilarating climbing
sport! Via Ferrata
literally means 'iron
road' in Italian and is
the name used to describe
the metal steps and
bridges that were
installed along
treacherous mountains
passes in the Alps in the
First World War to help
soldiers traverse
strategic Alpine crossing
points.The name has stuck
and now it's a really
popular leisure pursuit
in Europe. The Via
Ferrata you'll be
tackling is actually the
very first in Scotland
and only the second set
up in the whole of the
UK. And the team has
chosen a stunning spot
for it. You'll be scaling
the heights within
touching distance of the
Grey Mare's Tail
waterfall in
Kinlochleven. One of
Scotland's biggest
cascades of fast-flowing
water the route you'll be
clambering tops out at
around 90m just above the
mouth of the waterfall at
85m.Yes it really is as
impressive as it sounds.
The rock face has been
equipped with metal steps
called 'staples' -
because that's exactly
what they look like
(albeit totally massive
ones!) wooden planks
metal cable bridges and
ladders too. You'll be
kitted out with a body
harness and a karabiner
so that you are attached
at all times so logic
tells you you can't
actually fall very far
but it's still pretty
hectic.In fact we can
honestly say the moving
up the granite face isn't
that challenging
physically it's all about
how high it is and how
exposed you feel. If you
dare look behind you
you'll see the waters of
Loch Leven glistening in
the background. Look
sideways and there's the
waterfall (you might even
feel the spray in your
face!) and look down
(eek!) and you'll see the
instructors grinning at
you as they shout words
of encouragement.As you
negotiate the metal that
tests your mettle nothing
can describe the feeling
as you haul yourself over
the final ledge. You feel
so alive so pleased with
yourself that you
conquered this impressive
Via Ferrata. Stand up
take a moment to catch
your breath and then take
a look around you.
Stunning isn't it? And
all the more incredible
when you think without
those metal rungs and
cables there's no other
way of getting up to that
viewpoint.Of course Via
Ferrata certainly isn't
for everyone but it is a
novel way of scaling the
granite that doesn't
require enormous physical
strength or climbing
skill but you will
definitely have to have a
head for heights. We
offer lots of high-speed
activities here at
IntotheBlue.co.uk but
despite the near walking
pace of this activity we
think this Via Ferrata
with views across the
Scottish hills guarantees
the highest thrills.
Isn't it time you climbed
the iron road?

Climbing & Abseiling
Stirlingshire

Scale the heights when
you go climbing in
Stirlingshire! We are
offering beginners the
perfect session to get
climbing at this outdoor
centre near Gartmore.
It's great value for
money and everything you
need to climb (and abseil
back down again!) is
included. Sitting pretty
right on the edge of the
Trossachs National Park
you'll find this farm
estate that is home to
this activity centre and
a holiday park. It's just
west of Stirlingshire and
offers a huge range of
things to do. You're
going to be here to
climb. The centre has a
purpose-built climbing
tower with various routes
of varying levels of
difficulty to climb. We
have to admit when you
first stand at the bottom
it looks a long way up to
the top but you'll be
surprised how high you
can climb when you put
your mind to it. Helping
you with your first foray
into sport climbing at
this Stirlingshire venue
is Ross the Boss and his
team of instructors.
They're all great fun
with all the banter and
really good at spurring
you on too. Safety is of
course paramount so
there's always a briefing
before you climb and
you'll be shown how to
get into your harness and
how to adjust it
correctly. So there you
are on the climbing wall.
You're making good
progress using your hands
and feet to reach for the
holds. As you near the
top of the wall you
realise that once you're
there you have to come
back down. That's when
you get to abseil. It
takes a bit of guts to
begin with but once
you're into the rhythm it
feels really good. Having
conquered the wall there
should be time for you to
take on one last climbing
challenge. This Gartmore
centre boasts a very
special climbing tree.
Yep it's an actual pine
tree with actual climbing
holds fitted to the
trunk. Hold your nerve
for this one as the
higher you climb the
better the views of the
Trossachs National Park
and Loch Lomond are!
Start climbing in
Stirlingshire at this
centre near Gartmore and
we're sure you'll be
hooked on the sport. All
the gear you need is
included in the price of
the voucher and the
basecamp has free tea and
coffee and a comfy
seating area - ideal for
sitting back and
reflecting on the time
you climbed right up a
tree!
