Twister/ Rocky Creek Begineers Canyoning 10th March 2018

Hey,

Nadav and I are running a beginners canyoning trip on Saturday the 10th of March. We’re doing Twister and Rocky Creek. Twister is really fun with lots of fun jumps and slides. Rocky Creek is very pretty for those make-your-friends-jealous instragram photos.

We’ll be doing it on a Saturday. It will take the whole day. I’ll probably drive up the Friday evening before and camp overnight, if you’d like to join me you’ll need to bring a sleeping bag and a tent, which you can borrow from the club. Otherwise you can drive yourself or get a lift off Nadav

You will need to bring:

• Lunch
• Water (I recommend at least 2L)
• A drybag (these cost about $12, from Kathmandu/ Anaconda/ Macpac / the internet), I’d recommend 15L – 20L if your interested in getting into canyoning, but any size is fine. It’s just to keep your clothes and lunch dry, and maybe camera
• A backpack, around 25L in capacity
• A wetsuit (you can borrow one from the club at Sam Cracknell Pavillion on a Wednesday even, the details of which will be posted on the Facebook group)
• A helmet (the club has these, but a bicycle helmet works fine anyway)
• Well gripping enclosed shoes (I’m looking at you people thinking about wearing thongs), e.g. old running shoes or sneakers. Note: these will get extremely dirty and damaged
• Wool or synthetic socks (your feet will get cold in cotton socks)
• Thermals, wool or synthetic to wear under your wetsuit, if you’re the kind of person who gets cold easily
• Maybe a camera

See you Saturday week,

Dion Russell.
