SUNDAY BL – Serendipity – Canyon – Beginner/Intermediate

Serendipity Canyon

Join Nadav and I on a great little canyon/chasm with a series of technical abseils, beautiful scenery and a great ending swim!

What you need to know? Expect a great day canyoning for around 8+ hrs round trip, a cold swim/walk up the river at the end, and a scramble to exit.

Classed a intermediate canyon, its a good day! With low temperatures and high rainfall its quite wet – but in Autumn expect cold temperatures.

Essential gear:

• Space blanket/emergency blanket (mandatory).
• Headlamp (mandatory) w/ batteries
• Lunch/snacks and water (1.5L) for 8 hrs of potential canyoning. Fueling yourselves is essential
• Spare dry clothes/thermals/jumper/beanie
• Dry bag to keep electronics/spare clothes warm.
• Appropriate clothing – no cotton – when wet it loses heat fast! Think hiking clothes with boardies/swim shorts to protect wetsuit from damage.
• Shoes with good grip and suitable for water – trainers with warm socks.
• Wet-suit (BYO if you have one, else borrow from Boree Log Gear Pool)
• Wet-suit booties/gloves (It will be cold in Autumn)

• Small backpack to keep your drybag/gear. Expect it to get wet/scratched.
• Any medication/medical devices you need.

We will be walking off from Cathedral of Ferns Camping area down to begin the Canyon. Participants will leave directly from the canyon, so a balance of Cars/carpooling is essential to get everyone back to Sydney
