canyoning
Hi all
Tom and I will be running a canyoning trip through Whungee Wheengee on the Sunday of this year’s Megafest… It’s one of my favourite canyons, so if you want to treat yourself to something special, please come and join us!
This is an intermediate canyon – it’s a long hike in, some challenging sections to navigate in the canyon, and a 1km swim down the Wollangambe to the exit track. Please read the prerequisites carefully and when you sign up, please comment on your previous canyoning experience.
If you’ve never done a canyon before, please choose a beginner’s trip, but if you’ve started to get into it and are looking for the next step up, this is an amazing canyon to do!
Prerequisites:
– Good fitness level – it’s a substantial hike in and out with 2 steep ascents
– Confident swimmer – you will have to swim down the Wollangambe for 1km (possible some wading in between if water levels are low)
– Prior canyoning experience – we’ll take participants who have done at least two canyons before (and completed AS1 of course…)
Things to bring:
– Any of your own gear that you want to use
– The usual stuff for the canyon: shoes with good grip, extra pair of shorts for wetsuit protection, gloves if you want to use them, lightweight rain jacket for extra warmth
– Lunch, snacks and 2L of water
– Change of clothes for when we get back to the cars
Given this trip will be on the final day of Megafest, we’ll leave from the campground together and drive back to Sydney afterwards.
Cheers,
Tom & Birger
