SUMMARY:Serendipity - Beginners Canyon (TRIP FULL)
DESCRIPTION:Hey Everyone!\n\nNicola and I will be running Serendipity\, a b
 eginners canyon this Sunday. It will be wet and have a few abseils or two.
  Should be loads of fun and weather's looking fiiiiine.\nWe will meet at u
 ni at 7:30am Sunday and car pool up.\n\nLOWDOWN\n\nTo get an idea of how t
 hings will work and the logistics of how to end up in dry underwear:\n\nTh
 ere’s a short hike to the canyon\, you need a backpack to hold wetsuit\,
  lunch\, water\, harness etc.\nWhen we get to it’s start we change into 
 wetsuits and harnesses with board shorts over the wetsuit to protect it (a
 nd swimmers or undies you were already wearing under the wetsuit if you ar
 e modest like me :p)\nYou put dry stuff like your shirt into dry bags (whi
 ch have your lunch in them) and put your helmets on.\n\nWe then go through
  the awesome waterland of the canyon\, swims\, jumps\, slides\, abseils an
 d stopping somewhere for lunch. Keep snacks and water handy (Or just drink
  the canyon water\, I hear it’s fine…)\n\nAt the very end we change ou
 t of wetsuits back into the dry shirt/clothes (boardies and undies/swimmer
 s will still be wet though!) to hike back.\nThen hopefully you left dry bo
 ttoms/shorts/undies in the car and you can change back into them then. Tho
 ngs are a must too\, for happiness.\n\nGEAR LIST\n\n\nGear that can be bor
 rowed/hired from the CLUB (On Wednesday Gear Nights @Sam Cracknell):\n\n	W
 etsuit (and swimmers): You can hire a wetsuit from the club\, although the
 re will be a limited supply\, borrow a wetsuit from a friend\, or check ou
 t second hand stores and gumtree or hire from surf shops.\nWear swimmers o
 r undies under the wetsuit (your own not clubs :P) if your modest while ch
 anging like me and you must wear boardies over the wetsuit to protect it.
 \n	Harness\, Belay Plate\, Helmet: All can be borrowed from the club\, let
  me know what you need\, or go to the gear cupboard yourself on Wednesday 
 evening (gear night)\n\nGear you'll need to borrow/obtain YOURSELF:\n\n	Wo
 olen Socks and Enclosed shoes: Shoes that can get wet. Volleys (are the be
 st) or old joggers. NO SANDALS OR THONGS we will have you wait in the car 
 all day. Places like target and bigW sell volleys for around $20 or $10 if
  you have kid sized feet \n	At least 1.5L Water\, snacks and lunch: Muesli
  Bars are cool because they come in their own waterproof wrapping!\n	Backp
 ack and dry bag: Bring a backpack that you don’t mind getting wet\, and 
 one that can also hold your wetsuit\, at least 1.5L of water and your dryb
 ag which will hold lunch/snacks and some dry clothes.\nDrybags are waterpr
 oof bags that go in your backpack\, there’s usually space to share one b
 etween two but ask around first to make sure. I have two spare. Or they’
 re about $10 in mountain designs\n	Torch: A torch must be brought in your 
 dry bag in the unlikely scenario we run out of sunlight\n	Dry clothes: To 
 leave in the car to change into after the canyon. You can also keep therma
 ls in your dry bag to change into for the hike out or in case of emergency
 .\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nSo I hope it helps prepare you! Feel free to ask Nicola or
  I anything no matter how silly you think it might sound \n\nCheers\,\n\nB
