Want a more chilled out Sunday tri p? Come join Mali and I for a float down the Wollangambe River! We'll spen d the day floating down a gorgeous canyon\, looking up at the striking wal ls and enjoying the sun. There are no abseils in this canyon\, so it's a g ood one to try out of you've never been before.\n\n\n\nWe will take as man y lilos as we can but we won't have enough for everyone so please bring yo ur own if you have one! A Lilo is a rugged inflatable air mattress. You ca n also bring a pool inflatable but be aware that it might scrape up agains t rocks and pop! Then you'll be left carrying out a wet piece of plastic : (\n\nThe day will involve hiking 3 km down to the river\, where we will ch ange into wetsuits\, stash our food and clothes in a dry bag\, and blow up our lilos/inflatables. We will then make our way down the river\, floatin g/swimming over the deep pools and scrambling over the bouldery sections. There will be small sections of whitewater rapids from time to time\, whic h we will take care to walk around safely. Once we reach the exit we will get changed out of our wetsuits and put on our dry clothes. Just note that you'll have to put a wet backpack on so you will not be completely dry. W e then have to walk out for 3 km up a 300 m hill.\n\nIf we have wet weathe r this trip won't proceed as the river can be dangerous in high water leve ls or flood. Instead we will go somewhere to practice rope skills or river crossing skills.\n\nYou can find more info on the canyon here\n\nWhat sho uld I bring?
