P.S. This is an intermediate canyoning trip. You need to be signed up to Boree Log to attend.
Are you ready for a night to never forget (or remember)?! Cos when the clock hits 12 on Sunday morning, we’ll be taking the Boree Log party to Serendipity Canyon! Instead of phat beats and glow sticks, we will hear invisible waterfalls and (hopefully) see glow worms. If you haven’t gone canyoning at night before, it’s a completely different experience to canyoning during the day.
The nitty gritty
To come on this trip you will need to:
- have completed at least 3 canyons (i.e. not a noob)
- be self-sufficient at abseiling (comfortable clipping in and descending WITHOUT supervision or a belay)
- bring all your own personal canyoning equipment
- long sleeve wetsuit (there are a few swims) (wear thermals underneath if you get cold easily)
- harness, helmet, descender
- etc (you should know the drill)
- bring a water-resistant/waterproof HEAD TORCH or NIGHT VISION GOGGLES (it will get wet)
- bring a BENIGHTMENT KIT:
- dry set of warm clothes/thermals (to get changed into)
- space blanket or sleeping bag (for sleeping in)
- groundsheet, tarp, tent, or hammock (optional)
- bring enough food/water/coffee to last until morning
- pass a fumble test (are you awake/sober enough to connect & remove your descender from the rope without dropping it)
This trip is currently capped at 6 people. Depending on the skills of people who sign up, I might expand it to 8 people. I will organise all the group equipment.
Since this trip involves abseiling at night, everyone will get a TOP BELAY and/or a BOTTOM BELAY where appropriate.
We’ll meet at 11:30pm on Saturday night at the Boree Log Party. We will probably get to the end of Serendipity Canyon anywhere between 4:00am and 6:00am (depends how fast we move). I will be camping the night in the canyon since I am doing Wollangambe 2 the next day (you’re welcome to join the event). Otherwise, you will have to walk back up the hill to Cathedral of Ferns – it’s a pretty straightforward walk, and you can check out this map.
