Madie, Matt, Naomi, Graham, Tal and meeee
So Madie had a big weekend of canyoning lined up to ̶c̶o̶m̶m̶i̶s̶e̶r̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶, um, I mean “celebrate” her turning 30. Unfortunately I had to pullout of the Claustral trip on Saturday due to other commitments. Apparently there was a bit of excitement on the trip as Matt scampered up onto the hulks fist and dropped down on one knee and proposed. Luckily Madie said yes. It would have been an awkward 7hr walk out otherwise…
Anyhoo, I drag Tal out of bed Sunday morning and we meet up with the others at the campground.
Options were discussed. An easier, drier day dismissed. And we eventually headed off to do Water Dragon canyon.
The walk down to the Wollangambe was uneventful and we made short work of the hill on the other-side then scrambled down to the start of the canyon where Matt pointed out that had we dragged him all the way to the top of the hill only to descend most of the way back down…
At the canyon we look nervously at the cold water but suit on up and slip on in.
Then it’s a bit of a float down stream to the exit
and then up the usual Wollangambe 1 exit track and back to camp
Wollangambe 1 is rated an easy canyon but groups often underestimate it and this climb out has thwarted a few groups in the past.
Another great day in the bush with awesome people
