Beginner Canyoning
08:00 – 17:00
Hey, hey, hey, keen canyoners! Never canyoned before? Keen to dip your toes in and get a feel for this awesome adventure sport? Looking to learn some skills and gain experience before jumping into a whole weekend of canyoning? Want to meet awesome people, have a crack at something new, and have a whole lotta fun while you're at it? Then boy do we have the trip for you. This is a super low pressure and fun environment for those who haven't abseiled or canyoned before and want to give it a go. So what does it involve? We will meet at the gear shed (on the Callaghan campus) to get equipped with everything you need to stay safe in a canyon (helmets, harnesses and as well as dry(ish) bags and hiking packs) and then carpool out to Cranky Corner, Wonnarua Nation (Hunter Valley) for what is a very short and sweet dry-ish canyon. From there it will be a fun day of exploring, making friends, and learning the basics of canyoning. Expect to be immersed in the stunning bush, clambering over rocks and splashing in creeks. Depending on the weather this will either be a wet to the ankles or a wet to the waist kind of trip, with one optional abseil right down the middle of a waterfall and for those feeling brave, a cliff jump (if water levels are suitable). While the walk is not long a reasonable level of fitness is required and you must be able to swim to attend this trip. All you'll need to bring is food and water for the day, clothing to get wet in (NO COTTON), appropriate footwear that will be grippy on wet rocks but won't fall off your feet, and dry clothes for the car ride home. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to your friendly trip leaders! Rebecca Gibson rebecca.gibson10@uon.edu.au Francesca Orchard-Hall f.orchardhall@gmail.com
