[FULL] SATURDAY BL – UPPER BOWENS SOUTH Beginner/intermediate Canyon

Alfie and I (Margot) will be running a trip on Saturday for Boree log to do Upper Bowens South Canyon.

The canyon itself is a beauty, but also moderately long, so this might be a long day – perhaps 7-10hrs in the canyon.
You can check out more of the canyon’s details here: https://ozultimate.com/canyoning/track_notes/bowens_creek_south.htm

You will need:

• To be keen and ready for a longish day
• A headtorch
• A dry bag*
• A backpack to fit all your gear and can get wet*
• Wetsuit (preferably 5mm)*
• Rain jacket
• Thermals
• Wool socks
• Shoes with grip
• Helmet*
• Harness*
• Descender (preferably an 8 style)*
• Personal safety*
• Locking Carabiner*
• An emergency blanket (can be bought from the gear cupboard – $5)
• Food and water

*Can be borrowed from the club supplies but if you have your own bring it as supplies may be limited

You need to be approved for the main Boree Log event to attend these trips. Please sign up for only ONE trip per day. If you get rejected you can then sign up for another trip, this just makes it easier for volunteer trip leaders. Please be aware that as the weather is unpredictable, trip leaders may need to alter trips accordingly.

To let me know you have read this far let me know what volume of dirt you think you’ve eaten (accidentally or on purpose) in your life so far? Bonus- how much do you hope to eat in your lifetime.

Keen for a great day canyoning with you all!
