[FULL] SUNDAY BL – SERINDIPITY Canyoning [Beginner]

Maddi, Hammy, and I (Jason) will be running a beginner trip through Serendipity Canyon on the Sunday of Boree Log.

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

This is a relatively short canyon  – it should take roughly 6 hours to complete. This is a beginner canyon and you need NO previous experience to join us. There will be plenty of bushwalking, rock scrambling, cold swims, and fun abseils. There may even be a chance to see some glow worms!
