Hello Budding Young Canyoners!
Another beginner canyoning trip! This one is nice and close to the campsite and is a lovely trip. Check out the following website for details:
http://ozultimate.com/canyoning/track_notes/bowens_creek_south.htm
I’m not sure how many club wetsuits will be available, so first preference will be given to those with a wetsuit. If you don’t have one of your own, do your best to borrow one or track one down in an op shop. For canyoning a 3/2 steamer is ideal, but anything will do for this canyon.
If you sign up for this trip please email me to let me know whether you have a car and whether or not you have a wetsuit. peddey@gmail.com
Additional REQUIRED equipment:
– Closed-toe shoes, ideally dunlop volleys but runners will do (no crocs or thongs!)
– A day pack to carry your stuff (and if it’s big enough to also carry a rope then that’s a plus!)
– Water bottles (at least 2 1L bottles)
– Lunch and snacks – it’s a long day and you’ll need energy!
– Something warm, ideally thermals (top and bottom), beanie and a rain jacket
– Board shorts or similar to wear over your wetsuit and protect it from scrapes
– A torch and spare batteries, ideally a headtorch
– Something to keep your warm clothes, lunch and headtorch dry in your bag. Ideally a dry bag, or else just bring lots of plastic garbage bags
If you have them, please also bring a harness, helmet, descent device such as an ATC, carabiner and sling or accessory cord for safety.
If you sign up for this trip don’t forget to send me an email! peddey@gmail.com you’re also welcome to give me a call 0411 467 041
Cheers,
Philip
