Georgie, Layla, and I (Jason) will be running a beginner trip through Yileen Canyon on the Sunday of Boree Log. Come join us for one of the best bang for buck canyons in the Blueies.
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.
Canyoning involves swiming through cold pools, abseiling down waterfalls (up to 50m tall!) and lots of scrambling. If you can endure this you will be rewarded with some pretty sections of canyon. It is important that all participants have experience hiking/outdoor activities and can swim.
