Boree Log Saturday -Bowens Creek Canyon

Lucy and Laura will be running a beginner canyoning trip to Bowen’s creek north canyon (south section).  Numbers are limited to 15 people, (10 until we get another car) no experience is necessary but a certain degree of fitness is required the day will be around 8 hours of walking and rock scrambling.  There are a couple of abseils, none more than 15m or so, please try to get to one of the beginner abseiling afternoons if you haven’t abseiled before.

We will be meeting at the campsite at 0800 to get gear  organised.  If you can drive your car to the canyon start please let me know so I can open it up to more people.

You will need to bring:

-packed lunch, water bottle and snacks (canyons are really cold so you will get hungrier than normal)

-enclosed shoes that will get dirty/wet NO THONGS NO CROCS NO SANDALS (don’t laugh it happens)

-wetsuit, if not bring thermals -or hit up an op shop they usually have them REALLY cheap and if you don’t continue canyoning you could probably sell it to someone in the club for the same price 🙂

-dry clothes for walking in/out

-thick warm socks

-beanie or something to keep your head warm

-daypack –that can get wet

-headtorch or torch

-a dry bag or garbage bag for waterproofing your lunch and worm clothes etc

If you have them please also bring:  (other wise the club has some)

-helmet (bike helmet is fine)

-harness

-safety sling

-caribiners x2

-abseiling device (ATC, rap rack etc)
