River Crossing Training
Sun 04th Feb 2024
Family, Training
An opportunity to learn safer ways to cross rivers. Particularly recommended for anyone contemplating walking in NZ or Tasmania. The course will cover assessing a river and choosing a crossing place, solo crossing techniques, team crossing techniques, and a demonstration, in which you can participate if you wish, of swimming with a pack. Participants in previous courses have found it a lot of fun. The instructors - Linda Groom, Steve Halpin and Keith Thomas - are CBC leaders with experience in river crossing, but are not formally accredited in any way. The location is below Corin Dam. We will leave Canberra around 1 pm and should be back by 5.30 pm. Families with children 10 years and over are welcome, with a maximum of one child per accompanying adult. Bookings essential for all participants. If you are booking for children, please provide their names and ages and swimming competence when you book in the box 'Do you have any further details to add?'
