Nathan Mandy and meeeee

So my nephew is keen on canyoning but for one reason or another his options for doing a long wet canyon are limitted.

I’ve been meaning to get him down another dryish canyon for a while. My original plan was to take him down Tiger Snake canyon   but we had to get back to town early and I had not taught him to abseil yet so we descided on this one with an optional abseil for the hell of it.

Now some people dismiss the smaller, drier non abseil canyons but this one has one of the prettiest constrictions going and it’s close to home so it was a no brainer

Nathan and Mandy enter the canyon from the bottom

A massive storm 18months ago scoured the sand out of this bit leaving a puddle just on balls deep. Today it was icy

 

 

With frozen toes we decide to slip up onto the tops for a bite to eat and a bask in the sun

 

It was glorious

 

looking back into the depths

 

Warmed and fed we continue on

 

 

And make our way back to the cars for a bit of wedding cake action

 

 

What if something is on TV and it’s never shown again? :Smudge- Outdoor type
