Beginner Canyon – Lower Bowens Creek North

Behold canyoning season is upon us!

Brendan and I (Vicky) are running a beginners canyon to Lower Bowen’s Creek North. It’s a short, fun, really pretty canyon with a couple of abseils and small jumps along the way. Experience in abseiling is not necessary, but preferred.

There are 6 spots available on a first-come-first-serve basis unless we can’t find someone with a car.

GEAR – everyone is responsible for getting their own gear which they can get from the gear cupboard on Wednesday night. You will need:

• Wetsuit
• Helmet
• Harness
• ATC and locking biner
• Safety sling and locking biner
• Woolen socks and closed shoes that drain well (volleys are recommended, otherwise any shoes with good drainage and grip will do the trick. Bowens is pretty slippery!)
• Drybag (if you don’t have one, they’re pretty cheap from any outdoors store or borrow from a friend)
• Lunch and at least 1.5L of water
• A backpack you don’t mind getting wet and throwing around
• Towel and dry clothes for the trip home
• (Optional) thermals to wear underneath your wetsuit. The water in  Bowens was icy when we went two weeks ago so thermals are recommended
• Fuel money for your friendly driver

We’ll create a FB thread once numbers are confirmed.

Cheers 🙂
