Hello everyone, here are the details for the skyline tonight. If you are keen to some along just show up - make sure you have the right gear though

Meet

5:20 (we will leave at 5:30) at the Seddon memorial in the botanic gardens (this is at the end of Kinross street and just before the Bolton street cemetery map and stuff below)

Bring

HEAD TORCH!!! (hand torch will do if you don’t have one)

Warm clothes

Rain coat

Snacks

Water

$$ for the train ride home later

Trip

We will walk up to Karori and start at the end of Hatton street then go along the skyline to Johnsonville. The trip is about 10km and I would expect that it will take between 2 – 3 hours (4 hours max).

So theme is kind of: “DOWN A DOUBLE DOWN THEN A DOUBLE BROWN” so if you are keen for that I can see this being amazing.

Canyoning introduction trip – Thursday night

craig — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 20:16:48 GMT

So there has been a bit of canyoning going on this summer and many of you are interested in this strange damp sport.

This Thursday night I will be running a beginners canyoning trip. It is a combination of bush bashing, scrambling / down climbing, wading through water and an abseil. It will take approximately 3 – 4 hours. This trip is open to experienced trampers only and we do have limited equipment (harnesses etc). A wetsuit is good to have but polypro and a dry change would be ok.

If you are interested let me know.

The number one canyon

craig — Fri, 22 Feb 2013 23:16:58 GMT

A few of us are going to head out and do the number on canyon this weekend. Just based on the name it seems that this should be number one on your to do list!

It is up near Palmerston North and the plan would be to head up there on Saturday evening. For this trip you must have good experience in steep river travel and abseiling. A wetsuit would also be a very good idea.

Let me know if you are interested.
