Heading to the Blueis for some amazing canyoning new years adventures. This trip is open to all experience levels.
Which canyons we tackle will depend heavily on everyones experience levels. Most likely we will start off easy to introduce beginners to it, then gradually work our way onto some more adventurous canyons. Allowable numbers will depend heavily on the experience & skill base of the group.
If there are any people interested with solid rope skills and some canyoning experience I would love to work our way up to Kanangara Main as a big finish in the new year.
Dates at this stage are still flexible, depending when people want to go/ are available - however the trip will fall between 27th December and 4th Jan.
If any kayakers are keen we will also be able to make a daytrip pilgrimage down to Penrith for some laps around the stadium.
I am not going to be around the club at all in the lead up to this trip at all (new zealand has way better paddling) so it will largely be organised via email. If there is anyone with suitable experience who would like to take over organisation of this trip that would be awesome - please email me!
