All Day
canyoning
Hi all,
On the 30th of March, Toby and I will be exploring a couple of the slightly less frequented canyons of the Wollangame – Geronimo and Horseshoe. This is an intermediate trip, as doing both will make for quite a long day, and there will be some navigation and route-finding. Toby has done Geronimo, but neither of us has done Horseshoe. I’ve posted this same trip before, but it got rained out, so this is take 2.
THE PLAN:
– Toby and I will be camping at Cathedral Reserve Campground the night before. You can join us if you like or drive up the morning of, as long as you’re not late.
– On Saturday, we’ll meet at Mount Wilson Fire Station by 8:15 am, hoping to set off by 8:30 am.
– We’ll follow the main Wollangambe Entry Track most of the way to the Wollangambe, cross it, and head up the Geronimo entrance ‘track’ on the other bank before turning East to drop into Horseshoe Canyon.
– Once we’ve finished Horseshoe, we’ll head back up the same Geronimo entrance track but drop down to the West instead to do Geronimo.
– Afterwards, we’ll take the Wollangambe Entry Track back to the fire station.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
– Good physical fitness. We’ll be doing a lot of uphill walking to, from, and between the canyons.
– Experience scrambling and bush bashing (we will be doing a lot of both).
– AS1 and at least a couple of other canyons/abseiling trips.
GEAR:
– To sign up for this trip, you should already have a good idea of what personal gear you need to take on a canyoning trip.
– Don’t worry about the ‘gear I need’ section, I’ll send out a spreadsheet to organise this closer to the date.
Priority goes to those who have a car and can give lifts – Toby and I will be unable to take anyone, so you’ll have to make your own way there/find someone else on the trip who can drive you (make sure to help your drivers out with fuel + toll costs!).
In the signup description, please jot down your canyoning/abseiling experience, and whether you can take a car and how many people you could give a lift to. Hope to see you out there!
Cheers,
Zen & Toby
