Well you've come to the wrong place because this is an overnight hiking/camping trip with UNSWOC.\n\n \;\n\n\nPlan:\nMeet on Friday nig ht after work/uni.\n\nDrive up together to Watagans National Park (2 hours North). [You could come up on Saturday morning super early independently but you will need a car]\n\nCamp at Watagans HQ\n\nHike to Heatons Gap on this trail. We will do a car shuffle to drive back to camp. http://www.wil dwalks.com/bushwalking-and-hiking-in-nsw/watagans/watagan-headquarters-to- heaton-lookout.html\n\nChill out and general explore of the local area bef ore we drive back to Sydney together\, stopping for dinner on the way.\nWh at to bring:\n\n Water! - Apparently the water tank has been vandalised s o we must each bring at least 4-5L of water (depending on if you need some for cooking). You'll need to be able to carry 2L on the hike.\n Sunscree n! - Australian sun is brutal. Even if overcast you can easily get sunburn ed.\n Hat - Should be wide brimmed or a bucket hat to protect your ears a nd neck.\n Food – Bring something to eat on Friday night (we may arrive late so sandwich would be best). You will need to prepare food for breakf ast and lunch (bring a micro stove if you want hot food\, think quick and easy meals like oats\, cereal\, muesli\, sandwiches\, couscous packets). B e aware of garbage as well. Avoid canned food as its heavy and bulky. Brin g some lightweight snacks for the hike like trail mix\, chocolate\, muesli bars.\n Clothes – Be logical. Wear comfortable shoes like joggers or h iking shoes. They will get dirty or wet. Bring light clothes because you ’ll get hot while you hike (e.g. long lightweight pants\, breathable shi rt)\, BUT you MUST BRING a rainjacket and warm clothes for temperatures cl ose to 0 degrees at night.\n Equipment - (most stuff can be borrowed fro m UNSWOC or you can share) You will need tent\, sleeping mat\, sleeping ba g\, backpack for hiking (20-40L)\, micro stove\, small pots\, water bottle s. Optional: hiking poles\, gaiters\, slackline (bring if you own one!)\, compass\, GPS.\n Opal Card - Probably need one to get around\n Money? - for dinner on Saturday (can bring your own food if you prefer not to spend )\, for fuel costs of drivers.\n GOOD VIBES and tunes for the drive!\n\nM essage me Tad Karapetian on fb if you have questions. Please include wheth er you are able to drive and if you have a car available in your booking.
