Serendipity canyon

Join Cindy and I (Oliver) 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 walk up the river at the end, and a scramble to exit.

It’s gonna be a fun day! Expect cold temperatures, wetsuits are a must.

Track notes: https://ozultimate.com/canyoning/track_notes/why_dont_we_do_it_in_the_road.htm

Essential gear:

  • Space blanket/emergency blanket (mandatory).
  • Headlamp (mandatory) w/ batteries
  • Lunch/snacks and water (1.5L) for 8 hrs of potential canyoning. Fueling yourselves is essential
  • Spare dry clothes/thermals/jumper/beanie
  • Dry bag to keep electronics/spare clothes warm.
  • Appropriate clothing – no cotton – when wet it loses heat fast! Think hiking clothes with boardies/swim shorts to protect wetsuit from damage.
  • Shoes with good grip and suitable for water – trainers with warm socks.
  • Wet-suit (BYO if you have one, else borrow from Boree Log Gear Pool)
  • Wet-suit booties/gloves (It will be cold in Autumn)
  • Helmet (BYO if you have one, else borrow from Boree Log Gear Pool)
  • Harness (BYO if you have one, else borrow from Boree Log Gear Pool)

  • Small backpack to keep your drybag/gear. Expect it to get wet/scratched.
  • Any medication/medical devices you need.

 

We will be walking off from Cathedral of Ferns Camping area down to begin the Canyon. Participants will leave directly from the canyon, so a balance of Cars/carpooling is essential to get everyone back to Sydney
