Intermediate Canyoning (in canyon skills)

Intermediate Canyoning trip for those that attended the 3 weeks canyon training ONLY- time to put the skills into practice in a canyon

Focus on abseiling in aquatic conditions and practicing rigging

We're heading to Carisbrook  Canyon which is fairly chill and offers open pitch heads to allow further demonstrations and participants to get involved and practicing rigging and setting rope length whilst having a leader nearby.

Participants will need to get wetsuits/cags from the clubrooms on Tuesday in advance of Sunday (I will be there getting some other gear) Leader will bring; Harnesses, ropes, rope bags, helmets and hardware.
