To Expect: Light hiking, chilling around camp, a rustically beautiful pit toilet, Waterfall! A small amount of rain is forcast for this weekend so the waterfall should be good !

Saturday Dinner will be a group dinner that will be included in the cost of your ticket. We will packup camp and return to the gearshed on Sunday the 23/02/2020 after lunch.
