Hey there!
In true Aussie paddler fashion, this trip has been posted last minute so it’s a drop everything and go kind of deal. There is water up north and Aidan and I are going for a paddle! Now just to make things clear, this is a KAYAKING trip and not rafting.
There will be 2 spots open to people with WHITEWATER EXPERIENCE, and 1 spot to a beginner who is ABLE TO ROLL and willing to push their limits. If you are the beginner, please take in note that you will not be able to paddle everything and may be sitting around a little, so bring stuff to entertain yourself. You will be able to paddle the Barrington and seeing how you go, a few things at the Nymboida. This is just to keep you safe!
Please comment your experience level, tell us about your mad rolling skillz, if you have a car and tell us your favorite river otherwise we will reject your booking request!
Zee Plan:
– Leave Sydenham Station by 4pm Sunday afternoon and drive up to Barrington Tops (5ish hour drive)
– Camp at Barrington
– Paddle some nice class 2 and continue driving up to the Nymboida (5.5ish hours).
– Camp at Platypus flat and paddle some rad class 3-4 for the following few days.
– Drive back late in the evening on Friday night and arrive in Sydney early hours of the morning.
Gear:
– Bring your own camping, cooking gear and food
– Tell us what you need, the club has all kayaking gear except for booties, thermals, towels and drytops.
Hope to see you beaters there!
