[FULL] SATURDAY BL – YILEEN Beginner 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

Zee, Cave Gabe, Ryan and Emily are leading a beginner friendly canyoning trip through Yileen Canyon, some track notes can be found here. It should take about 5-7 hours, with some abseils, scrambling (down climbing) and perhaps a jump dependent on water levels.
