We took the train up to Wondobyne, a small station where you need to ask the driver to stop as it usually skips this station. Scouts led the way for the 3 hour hike up the hill on the GNW trail and then off to the enormous Pindar cave. We met another friendly group there and had a great night under the shelter of the overhang.

F/M Scouts went canyoning through a section of the Wollangambe. The walk into the canyon involved a deep descent to the river, where we inflated our lilos and surf mats before taking on the canyon, with a combination of gentle floating and scrambling over boulders. The climb back out required the scouts to show some rock climbing skills.
