Description

Approach either from Hassness on the B5289 or Newlands Pass across Buttermere Moss. This Canyon is the east-most gill of the 3 Goat Gills. Scramble down and get in @400m. A1 anchor is over the lip. Multiple abseils gets you to the confluence of the 3 Goat Gills. Several shorter pitches with a bit more water brings you to a pool above a small dam at the confluence with Hassnesshow Beck. Get out here as there is no canyoning interest below this. Signs at the pool/dam ask you not to swim as it's a water supply.
