Lower Bowens Creek North Canyon (#2) – Saturday Beginners Trip – BOREE LOG MARCH 2018

Hey there friends

Keen for a night of feasting and boozing but don’t want it to be unearned?
Come join Dion and I for an adventure down the lower part of the North branch of Bowens creek!
This full day adventure will include jumping, abseiling, wading and swimming and general awesomeness so a reasonable fitness level is needed and being able to swim is a MUST.
Beginners are very welcome on this trip

Note that this is trip #2 because we will be leaving slightly later than the first group

Please bring:

• Thermals + dry bag (DRY SET in a dry bag – this is back-up in case we get benighted and need to dry off to warm up)
• No cotton
• Woolen socks (no cotton, please)
• Lunch and other snacks
• Water (at least 1L, but 2L is preferable)
• Closed toe shoes such a joggers (runners) or volleys. If you wear thongs or sandals, we are leaving you at camp.
• A suitable backpack to carry everything (expect everything in your back-pack to get wet – thus why you need the dry bags)
• Headtorch (can be bought for like $11 from Anaconda) – in case we need to walk out in the dark

Gear club should have (but bring if you have it):

• Wetsuit (very much recommended for the swims. If you really can’t find one, a back up is to wear thermals, and bring a waterproof/windproof jacket to help keep out the chill once you’re wet)
• helmet,
• harness,
• safety sling,
• locking carabinerX2,
• ATC (or other abseil device),
• prussiks
