A trip to Cascades falls on the Saturday of Kangaroo Valley Extravaganza! Note if the weather is too cold this trip will be cancelled and we will do something else instead.

We will aim to leave camp at 8am. The drive to Macquarie Pass takes approximately 1 hour.  It is a short trip so if we finish early i'd be keen to go to the beach in the afternoon :) 

There will be some capacity for beginners on this trip, but you will need to, at a minimum:

• be able to swim
• be happy walking uphill with heavy backpacks

This activity will be reasonably physically challenging involving bushwalking, abseiling up to 35m, swimming, jumping into pools, scrambling over slippery rocks.

Please bring:

• hat and sunscreen
• synthetic or wool socks that you dont mind getting wet
• Running shoes that have good grip and can get wet.
• hiking clothes for the walk in and out
• Thermal top and pants to wear under wetsuit (its cold in the water even with a wetsuit!)
• Raincoat (to protect you from the wind)
• 2L Water
• Lunch and snacks (muesli bars are good and don’t get soggy in the water)
• Towel, change of clothes and dry shoes/thongs in a separate bag to be left at the cars
• A large garbage bag or waterproof bag to bring your wet clothes back home in.

The following can be hired from the club but feel free to bring your own if you have any:

• drybags/keg
• 5mm Wetsuit
• harness and descending device (e.g. figure 8 or ATC)
• helmet
• whistle
• Backpack to hold your bottle, lunch, harness and wetsuit (this will get wet). 

Since this is part of KVE, acceptance will depend on who will be accepted in the bigger trip so make sure you also sign up for that here. Please indicate in the additional information what gear you need hired.
