DESCRIPTION:The objective for this day hike is to summit the Byangee Wal
 ls and enjoy the sweeping views up and down the Clyde River valley and a
 cross to the Castle and Pigeon House Mountain. The hike will begin with 
 a stream crossing of the Yadboro River at the Long Gully camp ground, th
 en up a steep fire trail to the gap between The Castle and the the Byang
 ee Walls, followed by a near vertical climb up a series of narrow rock f
 issures, to the top. Return by retracing the route. The length of the wa
 lk is quite short (around 15km round trip), but the elevation gain is si
 gnificant at 500m and the last section of climb will be strenuous, at ti
 mes using a rope as a hand line, (although hikers with climbing experien
 ce should be able to manage this without rope.) The combination of chall
 enges means this walk is graded as difficult but rewarding! Progress wil
 l be slow and there will be lots of opportunities to pause and enjoy the
  features, which means it will be a long day requiring an early start. T
 ravel from Canberra (3.5 hours) will be undertaken the previous day to a
 n overnight camp at the Long Gully camp ground, aiming to break camp and
  start the hike at 8:00am on the day of the hike. Return to the camp gro
 und by 4:00pm. Gear required is minimal * A day pack with your usual day
  rations and personal items * Water, a full days requirement, allowing f
 or perspiration losses over steep terrain (minimum 3 litres/hiker) * Rai
 n and sun protection * Hand held torch - there is a small grotto to insp
 ect along the way * River crossing footwear. The river bed is comprised 
 of loose river stones that are hard on feet. Sandals or some other footw
 ear to protect your feet will be helpful This trip is dependent on weath
 er conditions, but cool temperatures and light showers are expected and 
 acceptable. Heavier rain may make the trail too slippery or the river cr
 ossing unsafe and mist would wipe out the views.
