Ready for the craziest club trip ever run?? Get ready for the first ever MEGA trip. Taking advantage of ANZAC day on the Tuesday (as well as your ability to dodge lectures/pull a sickie Monday) we have four days of adventures, with a rotating roster of different activities. We'll head down to Kangaroo Valley to camp and do canyoning, climbing, hiking, kayaking and snorkeling nearby. BUT WAIT, there's more... The ANU MC is also holding their equivalent trip at the same campsite at the same time (did someone say MEGA party?)

We'll be camping at Bendeela on Tallowa Dam, allowing us to kayak straight from camp, with hikes nearby, canyoning at Macquarie Pass, climbing at Nowra and snorkeling in the bay!

All the gear and instructors will be provided, fuel and transport are sorted, as well as food so your ticket gets you a lot!

The plan:

  • Friday night - drive from Newcastle to Bendeela
  • Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday - we will divide everyone into groups that rotate through the activities
  • Tuesday night - drive back to Newcastle

What gear the club can lend you for the trip:

  • All the technical gear (helmets, harnesses, kayaks, etc)
  • Tent (may have to share pending availability), sleeping bag, sleeping mat

What you need to bring:

  • Clothes that can get wet for kayaking and snorkeling inĀ - NO COTTON
  • Warm clothes for at night
  • Activewear for climbing and hiking in
  • Watershoes with good grip for canyoning in (volleys are king but whatever choice you make must stay on your feet in the water, be comfy to walk in for several hours and must have a bit of grip. Old runners that you don't mind getting wet will work)
  • Lunches (we're sorting breakfast and dinner)
  • Cutlery, etc to eat with and off/out of

Any questions, flick me a message!
