The plan is to leave Canb erra after lunch on Saturday and drive to the Long Gully camp site (abou t 3 hours). The hike will begin early the next morning with a stream cro ssing of the Yadboro River, then up a steep fire trail to the gap betwee n The Castle and the Byangee Walls, followed by a near vertical climb up a series of narrow rock fissures, to the top. Return by retracing the r oute. The length of the walk is quite short (around 15km round trip), bu t the elevation gain is significant at 500m and the last section of clim b will be strenuous, at times using a rope as a hand line, (although hik ers with climbing experience should be able to manage this without rope. ) The combination of challenges means this walk is graded as difficult b ut rewarding! Progress will be slow and there will be lots of opportunit ies to pause and enjoy the features. Return to the camp ground by 4:00pm Sunday, then drive back to Canberra. (Some may decide to stay another n ight?) Gear required is minimal * A day pack with your usual day rations and personal items * Water, a full days requirement, allowing for persp iration losses over steep terrain (minimum 3 litres/hiker) * Rain and su n protection * Hand held torch - there is a small grotto to inspect alon g the way * River crossing footwear. The river bed is comprised of loose river stones that are hard on feet. Sandals or some other footwear to p rotect your feet will be helpful This trip is dependent on weather condi tions, but cool temperatures and light showers are expected and acceptab le. Heavier rain may make the trail too slippery or the river crossing u nsafe and mist would wipe out the views. URL:https://canberrabushwalkingclub.mybilby.com/activities/4018 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
