OUR
ROUTES
THE GAZZLE
The Gazzle is part of Towan Head, one of Newquay’s most beautiful areas, teeming with wildlife such as seals, seagulls, falcons and cormorants. This is our preferred route as it allows us to create differing levels of challenge depending on the groups ability. From extremely difficult to child friendly, it has it all, as well as being sheltered from the westerly swells and prevailing south-westerly winds.
The area also holds historical features such as Newquay’s old lifeboat house and slipway. You will walk down what was once the steepest lifeboat slipway in Britain when it came into operation in the late 1800’s . We will work our way around the coastline, traversing the cliffs, swimming from coves and looking for places to explore. We practice jumping from the cliffs starting from a few feet and building up to some higher jumps – the highest being 30 – 35 feet (10 metres) but only if you are happy and confident to give it a go!

High Tide
The deeper water will allow us to use some of the bigger jumps IF the members of group are able to show they have successfully mastered the jump technique we teach. If not then 20 – 25 feet will be the highest jump. (We would also like to point out that smaller children will not be able to participate on the highest jumps for obvious safety reasons)
Importantly, it’s not all about the jumps; there are so many different aspects to our sessions, swimming, climbing and exploring, it’s an amazing experience, even if you don’t want to jump. When we start the session we quickly assess the optimum route for the group, to ensure that everyone has a great time.
Low Tide
Searching the coast for nooks and crannies to explore, we swim, climb, slide through sluices as we move long our low tide route . Our low tide sessions are a perfect mix of wild coastal terrain and breath-taking adventure. with the added opportunity to watch birds of prey and our local grey seals. Don’t worry we still have caves and breath-taking jumps for you to enjoy – up to 20-25 feet, all in all it’s an amazing experience you will never forget.
