SATURDAY BL – VICTORIA FALLS Hike!

“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”

Hi all, me (Marcus) and Tom are leading a hike to the the aptly-named Victoria Falls in Mount Victoria on the Saturday of Boree Log. We shall seek enlightenment through scenery and improved leg muscles.

The hike is about 2.5km to the waterfall, and a steep 2.5km back up to the carpark. At the bottom of the hike we will be rewarded with the waterfall which we will then be able to swim underneath (bring your cozzies).

• Sunscreen– Make sure you bring lots of sunscreen and apply every few hours!
• Swimwear – we will swim at the waterfall at the end of the hike
• Water– Water is extremely important. Bring AT LEAST 2L of water. Preferably more as hiking uphill is hot going.
• Lunch– You must provide your own lunch.
• Snacks– We’ll be doing a lot of exercise, so make sure you bring lots of snacks to keep your energy levels up! Salt and vinegar chips and grain waves are always appreciated.
• Appropriate clothes – Shoe for hiking, Hat, light clothes (you will get hot!), a and raincoat in case of bad weather.
• If you have one… Head-torch – We are certainly not planning on needing this, but if incase of emergency and we end up being benighted, it will be nice to have.
