If you have any questions, message Cindy (https://www.facebook.com/Cindy.li27/) on Facebook. Write down your canyoning / abseiling / rope skills / outdoor experience in the comment when signing up, your favourite geological feature (so we know you’ve read this far), and whether you have a car (and how many spots).

You must be approved to the main Boree Log event to attend these trips. If you get rejected then you can sign up for another trip, this just makes it easier for volunteer trip leaders. Please be aware that as the weather is unpredictable, trip leaders may need to alter trips accordingly.
