Saturday BL – *TRIP FULL* Intermediate Canyoning – Starlight Canyon (trip 2 out of 2 – the better one)

You must be attending and approved for the Boree Log main event to sign up for this trip.

Note: thanks to Stephen for the trip template!

Wanna come see one of the Blue Mountains’ very best, 10/10 canyons? Wanna see a spectacular glowworm tunnel, beautiful canyon formations, experience three sweet abseils, and enjoy an ardous scenic hike? Then Starlight Canyon is for you!

Jeffrey and I (Matt) will be running this awesome canyon on Boree Log – Saturday 26th. It is suited for intermediate canyoners if you have solid physical fitness and are keen for a lot of scrambling (there’s a steep 470m uphill on the way in and a long rough scramble out). If you want to sign up, do it here, and tell us in the comments (or message me on Facebook – Matthew Notarangelo) with your current canyoning experience, fitness level, what gear you already have, and why you think it’s called starlight canyon (so we know you’ve read this far!), and we will let you know who got a spot and add you to the trip ASAP.

What to bring:

• Head torch (With full batteries, it’s pitch black in the tunnel)
• Emergency blanket (You must carry one on every club canyoning trip. You can grab one from the gear cupboard or at Boree Log for $5 cash)
• Harness*
• Descender (ATC or other – no munter) and biner*
• Safety sling and biner*
• Prusik and biner*
• Helmet*
• Proper damn shoes. Volleys are ideal, but runners with good grip (that aren’t slippery when wet) also work. No sandals or crocs. Sandals as they are unsafe and crocs being visually horrific.
• Wool socks (to keep your wet feet warm)
• Clothing that you can hike & scramble in & that is not too cold / heavy when wet (there will be deep wades). Please do not wear jeans! Also no cotton!
• Spare jacket / jumper in a plastic bag
• Sun protection! (sunscreen, hat)
• 2 litres of water
• Lunch & snacks (for 10hrs)
• Drybag to keep stuff dry
• Thermals + beanie for if we’re out late

See you down there!
