Norrish Creek Exploration, August 18


Our first canyoneering adventure. Since I'm not into paddling class 5 also the only way to explore Norrish canyon. And a very cool way to spend one of the scorching summer days, when it’s just too hot to do anything else and one just wants to hide in the shade. 

Fun combination of hiking, scrambling, jumping of cliffs and swimming. We even met a paragliding friend in the middle of the canyon - guess he was as surprised as we about the meeting!

Thick wetsuits are a must, felt soled boots would have been great and next time we should also take throw rope and pin kit along. (Note to myself: bring felt-soled boots and throw rope next time.)
