NUMC MEGA TRIP 2024

Ready for the craziest club trip ever run?? Get ready for the new and improved MEGA trip. Taking advantage of ANZAC day on the Thursday (as well as your ability to dodge lectures/pull a sickie Friday) we have four days of adventures, with a rotating roster of different activities. We'll head down to the Blue Mountains to camp and do canyoning, climbing, hiking and kayaking nearby. 

We'll be camping at Mt Wilson, with canyons right from camp, hikes nearby, climbing at some of the best crags in the Blueys and kayaking on a nearby dam!

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

Once you have bought a ticket to the MEGA trip there are sub events for each day that you will have access to. These sub events will have info on each of the activities and allow you to choose which things you're doing on which day.

The plan:

• Wednesday night - drive from Newcastle to Mt Wilson 
• Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday - we will divide everyone into groups that rotate through the activities
• Sunday 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 in - NO COTTON
• Warm clothes for at night
• Rain gear - jacket, pants
• Activewear for climbing, canyoning 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)
• Snacks & lollies 
• Mess kit etc to eat with and off/out of
• Camp chair if you want to be able to sit down!
• Sleeping set up: tent, mat, sleeping bag.
• Medication, toiletries & mozzie spray
• Water carrying vessel (2L minimum)
• Head torches
