A provocative canyon

20th July 2003

Trip Notes

With only a fairly short day to play with we decided to head out into the Newnes Forest to do a short but fun mostly dry canyon that would only take us a a few hours at a leisurely pace.

Only a short walk into the canyon, it consisted firstly of a short abseil in two sections, with a pool in the middle and an overhang on the lower section. Then a short walk through the canyon to the next and final abseil. This abseil had a tricky start with the anchor point at ground level on the edge of the drop, and a twisty slippery descent.

And that's it, all finished. From there it's a scrambly creek walk before walking back up to the ridge, with a lunch stop on the way.

Camera info

All photos were taken with a Canon Powershot G1, and for canyon and low light shots I used a tiny little bendy leg tripod.
