26 Sunday CYCLING – Fernleigh Rail Track, Belmont to Adamstown and return.  As this is on an old railway track, it is a very flat easy ride.
25 & 26 Saturday & Sunday CANYONING – Newnes Plateau car camp probably on Sunnyside Ridge - Saturday Banks - Grade 4 - a long day but well worth it, Banks is very narrow and "slotty", there are 5 abseils and then we negotiate up Bungleboori Creek to the exit point (wetsuit needed). On Sunday we will explore Zorro Canyon which is ungraded. It's a short half day with a dead easy walk in and out, we will take some time to explore some creek systems to the side of Zorro to see if there are any canyons in that area.

24 & 25 Sunday CANYONING - Saturday Tiger Snake – grade 3. This is a dry canyon with a very tricky start on the first abseil and the last abseil is into a deep black hole. The end of the canyon finishes in a huge chasm (one of my favourites).
