Coasteering
WHY IS IT CALLED COASTEERING?
In recent years, coasteering has become one of the UK’s most popular adventure activities. Although people have been exploring coastlines informally for years—finding hidden coves and secluded beaches—the term “coasteering” first appeared in a climbing guidebook for Devon. The name combines elements of mountaineering and orienteering, capturing the essence of navigating rugged coastal terrain.
The term “coasteering” was coined by Edward C. Pyatt, blending “mountaineering” with “coast” to reflect this unique activity. The concept of structured coasteering sessions, as we know them today, was pioneered by Andy Middleton in Wales in 1985
