Grand Canyon

Hey all,

So from the interest posted on the outdoors facebook page we’ll be heading to Grand Canyon near Blackheath. This is a beginner level canyon and should be pretty nice weather to enjoy all the views! 🙂 There will be a 30m swim, and a few waist deep wades and some scrambling. http://ozultimate.com/canyoning/track_notes/grand.htm

Part of the walkway will be closed, so we will enter from Evans lookout and head upstream to the start of the canyon…. and then come back again! 😀

What you will need:

• Wetsuit
• Some shorts to go over the wetsuit
• Helmet
• Socks should be either synthetic or wool.  Cotton socks will be cold.
• Sunscreen
• Lunch and snacks for the day
• 2L of water
• Head torch (with full batteries)
• Proper shoes that will get wet/dirty: Volleys are good or some shoes that will have some grip when wet. Sandals are NOT okay.
• Dry bag
• Small backpack that you don’t mind getting wet and a bit dirty
• Spare clothes for end of day and perhaps a small towel and (Optional) thermals
• Fuel money for your driver 🙂

Numbers are limited for beginner levels and will be most likely taken by those who showed initial interest on the facebook thread. If you want to come along and have experience canyoning, please contact me 🙂

Cheers,

Eamonn
