Trip Leader: Joel Dowell, Emma Pollard

Time: Sunday, 4th November. 8:45am Carp park 6

Experience required:  Beginner

Destination: Britannia Creek Caves (near Launching Place). The caves are really easy, no abseiling in. I used to work with a company that took people out there for day trips. There are a few tight little squeeze and a small creek usually runs through the caves, so you will get wet & dirty, but that's not a problem if you have the right attitude! That said, there is rain predicted for Friday, so I'll keep you all up speed on any developments (it is Melbourne after all!). We may need to do a day-hike instead.

Approx cost: (TOTAL, Fuel, $10 gear hire (if you need)

Maximum group size: 8 (+ Joel & Emma)

What to bring: This stuff will get filthy!!!  Long sleves (overalls are great), runners/boots, garbage bag (to store filthy stuff), Helmet & Headtorch (available for hire from club). You'll also want a towel and a change of clothes to change into for afterwards.

Other Important Info: If you want to come, you need to either contact me or come to the kayaking session on Tuesday to hire any gear. This is the only time I'll be opening the gear store, so if you need gear you must come then. I'll be the final person to decide who comes & who goes as I don't think it's fair if there's a waiting list and then people don't show up.

It is your responsibility to ensure you have the right gear. Trip leaders can answer questions you might have. If you don't have the right gear you may get left at uni and leaders might be unwilling to take you in the future.

Numbers will be limited to 8 (so we can take 2 cars & we want to keep the group small to minimise impact on the cave).
