[FULL] SATURDAY BL – TIGER SNAKE Canyon [Beginners – Dry]

Yo team,

Amelia and I (Oliver) are leading a trip on Saturday through Tiger Snake Canyon!

You need to be approved for the main Boree Log event to attend these trips. Please sign up for only ONE trip per day. If you get rejected you can then 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.

Tiger Snake Canyon is a narrow, twisting tributary on the Newnes Plateau. It features two constrictions and a couple of abseils. The lower is deep, dark and spectacular.

More info and pics can be found here: ozultimate.com/…ack_notes/tiger_snake.htm

This is a dry canyon so don’t expect to get too wet, but expect at least wet feet/legs. It will still be chilly however so bring warm clothes. e.g. Thermals beneath your clothes with a rain jacket on top.

What to Expect:

• 10kms of bush bashing and lots of walking up and down
• Abseiling and heights!
• Beautiful slot canyons
