SATURDAY BL – Waterfall of Moss – Canyon Intermediate/Beginner

Waterfall of Moss: Is a ‘dryish’ canyon on the far side of the Wollangambe River.

Join Elliot and I on a great little canyon/chasm with a series of technical abseils, beautiful scenery and a great ending swim!

What you need to know? Expect a great day canyoning for around 8+ hrs round trip, a cold swim at the end, and a scramble to exit.

Classed a intermediate canyon due to the overhanging abseils. Moderate/low ‘wet’ canyon – but in Autumn expect cold temperatures.
