This walk will wind through the Grose Valley\, down to the Bridal V eil Falls and back up via the historic Horse Track. This walks is probably one of the most impressive walks through the Grose Valley\, particularly at this time of year. We will also do a side trip to Edenderry Falls for a swim (weather permitting of course).\n\nWhile the trip is open for all le vels of experience\, it should be noted that this trip will cover a distan ce of over 13km as well as an ascent of almost 1km\, and should probably t ake us around 7-8 hours minimum\, so please come with a good attitude and be ready for an adventure. The Govetts Leap Track itself descends down a c liff face with only a narrow track and handrail\, so if you have a fear of heights this trip probably isn't the one for you. This walk will however cover a variety of terrains through the beautiful Blue Mountains and shoul d be a fabulous day!\n\nREGISTRATION:\n\nYou can register for this trip on ce logged in by using the booking button at the bottom of the page. I will only be taking registered Outdoors Club members on the day so please regi ster if you would like to come. Please note that you can only register for ONE event on Saturday - double booking because "you'll decide what trip t o go on the morning of" will stop another person from having a spot on tri ps\, and with limited numbers this can be severely disappointing. Registra tion will be closing on WEDNESDAY MARCH 19th so that we can organise the g roup so please register soon so you don't miss out.\n\nTRANSPORT:\n\nGovet t's Leap Carpark is roughly 45 minutes drive away from the Mt Wilson camps ite\, so please indicate if you have a car and can drive on the Saturday m orning as we will be organising car pools. If you do not have transport\, please be prepared to pay your driver $5 for petrol for the return trip. I have a car and can take 4 more people\, but if the trip reaches full capa city we will need 3-4 cars.\n\nAt this stage\, the plan is to meet up at 8 am on Saturday morning of Boree Log with the aim to leave at 8:15am for a 9am walk start. If you are driving up on Saturday morning\, please meet us at Govett's Leap Carpark promptly at 9am. Phone signal is poor in the Blu e Mountains\, so if you are not on time we will assume you are not coming and leave without you.\n\nYOU WILL REQUIRE:\n\n1. ENCLOSED WALKING SHOES - as we will be walking 13km+ this is VITAL. You will also need thick socks (last year there were leeches). No flip flops\, crocs\, sandals etc. If y ou don't have walking shoes\, you can buy volleys for under $20 in Kmart\, Big W\, Target etc\n\n2. COMFORTABLE WALKING CLOTHES - as weather conditi ons will vary as we ascend and descend through the mountains\, layered clo thing is recommended. Even in autumn\, UV levels are still high so collare d t-shirts with sleeves are preferred over singlets. Please no jeans.\n\n3 . BACKPACK - to fit AT LEAST 2L of water\, your lunch/snacks\, sunscreen ( at least SPF30+\, but 50+ is better)\, a hat/sunglasses. You could share a backpack between a few people and take turns carrying it.\n\n4. SWIMMERS - if you want to swim at Edenderry Falls\n\n5. TORCH - prefereably a head torch if we are delayed. We should be out before dark\, but better to be prepared.\n\nMost of this is BASIC bushwalking gear and can be easily acqu ired\, but if you are having any trouble getting these or have any other q uestions please feel free to contact me using the comment section below\, email me: chloe_paton@hotmail.com or text me: 0439 034 187.\n\nPLEASE READ ALL OF THE ABOVE INFORMATION - I WILL NOT BE TAKING ANYONE WHO IS NOT WEA RING APPROPRIATE WALKING ATTIRE\, OR HAS NOT PACKED THE APPROPRIATE ITEMS. \n\nMORE INFORMATION:\n\nhttp://bushwalkingnsw.com/walk.php?nid=791\n\n\nP HOTOS:\n\nhttp://ozultimate.com/tom/bushwalking/2009/20090503_edenderry_fa lls/photos.htm\n\n \; CATEGORIES:Boree Log,Bushwalking LOCATION:Govetts Leap Lookout\, Govetts Leap Road\, Blackheath\, NSW\, Aust ralia GEO:-33.636341;150.298401 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Govetts Leap Road\, Blackhe ath\, NSW\, Australia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Govetts Leap Lookout:geo: -33.636341,150.298401 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
