Dick, Kylie, Russ Aimee and meeeeeeeeeeeeee

It’s July.

It’s wet.

It’s cold.

Anybody want to be be Gobsmacked in North Bowen this weekend?

The above mentioned crazy folk said yes.

Schaaaaaaaweeeeeet!

A trip through Lower North Bowen with Thing 2 and the boys was one of the things that got me back into canyoning in 2015. It’s a great little canyon but for some reason I hadn’t done it since.

Before that the last time I did it The Osbournes were on the telly. Time to get back me thinks.

Not to the Osbournes, like, they are entertaining and all but yeah na, back to Gobsmacker canyon

Some land slips on the walk in were a reminder of the effects of the extended wet weather but they don’t dampen our enthusiasm. (See what I did there?) and the track was in far better condition than in 2015 so top work there (though I’m not convince we took the same gully)

It is pretty but

a quick bite to eat and some interesting methods used to warm hands and we head up the exit gully. The handover hand climb was a small waterfall. Sux for those who choose to put dry clothes on.

To be honest it was nicer doing the exit in this temperature…..

It takes more than 1 idiot to get this stupid. Krispy
