Grade:4/6		Length	31km	800m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) When the heat of Summer is upon us, where do we go to escape the heat? The Colo River Gorge of course! On this particular walk we will experience the outstanding beauty of what is essentially the lifeline and heart of the Wollemi wilderness, the stunning Colo River and in particular the section between Tootie Creek and Meroo campsite. Expect long sandbanks, clear, tranquil pools, the exquisite Tootie cascades and lots of peace and quiet with only birdsong and the rivers gentle sounds to keep you company, as well as you're hiking friends of course. I plan to take a flotation device and float along past the scrubby bits and suggest everyone does the same offtrack walking along the Colo river with scrambling at times.

10 Jan, Sat 7:30AM				Wollangambe 3 canyon
Grade:5/6		Length	12km	300m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
Many people have done Wollangambe 1 and 2 canyon sections, but have you ventured further down this magnificent watercourse because there are some superb sections of canyon to experience for the adventurous walker/canyoner. Included is a tunnel section, oodles of long and spectacular pools, cascades and rock formations and a strong possibility you'll have the whole place to yourself. Helmets, wetsuits, surfmats or lilos/donuts are essential and a PFD too if you aren't a good swimmer. Needless to say a canyon pack or drybag are also important to bring along as is a sense of adventure and fun. rock scrambling and rapids Location: Wollemi NP Map: Wollangambe 89312S Limit: 12. View

So bring along you're surfmats, donuts, good food and drink and we will ride the odd rapid, swim in the wonderful swimming pools and just take it all in and savour our surroundings for many hours.Entry and exit via Pisgah rock. rock hopping Location: Blue Mountains National Park Map: Springwood Limit: 20.

24 Jan, Sat 7:30AM				Hobnail Canyon
Grade:4/6		Length	7km	150m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
Hobnail Canyon is situated on Range creek and offers the enthusiastic canyoner a wonderful and spectacular exploration along a beautiful watercourse which doesn't include any abseils although there are a few short tape sections to negotiate into and out of the canyon, especially at the exit track on South Bowen creek. Anyone attending needs to bring a helmet/wetsuit/drybag and PFD if you are not a proficient swimmer but you don't need a surfmat or donut as the swims are very short. This is a canyon well away from the insta crowd and one definitely worth doing. rock scrambling and offtrack Location: Wollemi NP Map: Mount Wilson 8930-1N Limit: 12. View

25 Jan, Sun 8:00AM				Bob Turners track to the Colo River and return
Grade:3/6		Length	7km	250m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
The Bob Turners track is probably the easiest route down to the mighty Colo River and where it meets this superb watercourse is an enormous pool which is perfect for a swim on a hot Summers day. But wait theres more! Bring along you're flotation device such as a surfmat or donut and we will float down the river, shoot the odd cascade before we return and eventually climb back up the way we came. A wonderful way to spend an Australia Day weekend. rock hopping Location: Wollemi NP Map: Colo Heights 90313N Limit: 12. View

31 Jan, Sat 8:30AM				Kiama to Gerringong
Grade:2/6		Length	15km	200m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
This is one of NSW most loved coastal walks and rightly so as you pass so many beautiful features along the way including several beaches which will be welcome as swimming stops as we hike south to the loverly beach town of Gerringong. I'm hoping for a warm Summers day so we can refresh ourselves with a dip or three. Location: Kiama Coast Walk Limit: 20. View

7 Feb, Sat 8:00AM				Rocky creek canyon
Grade:5/6		Length	6km	250m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
Rocky creek canyon is the classic canyon and is regarded as an entry level wet canyon as it does not have any abseils but does have several short swims with the longest being about 30 metres. The scenery in this canyon is unparalleled as its sculptured walls are regarded as the best you'll find anywhere. On this trip I plan to do the full length and climb up the exit track which means we won't have to double back and climb up the cascades. Participants should have the following gear, helmet, wetsuit, drybag, PFD if you are not a proficient swimmer. I have rated this a 5 because there are some tricky scrambles down cascades to negotiate and a rocky climb out at the end. rock scrambling and slippery conditions Location: Wollemi NP Map: Rock Hill 89312N Limit: 12.
