(FULL) BOREE LOG SATURDAY: Beginner Canyon – Twister/Rocky (Trip 1 of 2)

Hey guys,

Miley and I will be running a beginner canyoning trip this Saturday as part of boree log: Twister/Rocky (http://ozultimate.com/canyoning/track_notes/twister.htm). Transport and other details will be worked out in a group facebook convo. You can only attend this trip if you have signed up and successfully attending the main Boree log trip.

You will need to be fairly fit (a bit of walking) and not too scared of heights – there will be some jumps and slides into the water!

MESSAGE ME IF YOU HAVE A CAR (on facebook).

Description:

Generally in canyons, you have a bit of a walk in from the road until you reach the canyon entrance (usually a stream). We then put our wetsuits on and follow the stream down, jumping and sliding into pools. We then have a bit of lunch in the sun (if we are lucky!) and continue on for the remainder of the canyon

Gear you will need !

• Wetsuit*
• Shorts to wear over your wetsuit to protect it (they will be getting wet and scratched)
• Helmet*
• Woolen socks (do not wear cotton or your feet will be VERY VERY cold)
• Enclosed shoes (these are going to get wet and muddy. You can buy cheap ones from k-mart or big w)
• at least 2L of water
• Lunch
• Snacks (for your leaders!)
• Backpack (That you dont mind getting wet and can fit all your things)
• Dry bag (these are waterproof bags that go in the backpack to keep your things dry. You can get them at mountain designs for about $20. We also get 20% discount there – otherwise there might be enough to share).
• Torch (some kind of lighting device should be brought in the dry bag in the case we run out of sunlight!)
• Dry thermals (top and bottom if you are the type that gets easily cold)
• Dry clothes, shoes and towel (we will leave these in the car to get changed into on the way back)
• Petrol money for your driver.

*You can hire these items for free on the day. But please bring your own if you have it. There may be a limited supply!

Let us know if you have any questions.
