Day 1
Almost packed and ready to go... but there's still breakfast to eat
Rich & Mel's heartwarming message
Canyon 1
Rachel on the first abseil of our first canyon
No anchors, so we tie another rope on and keep going
Ruby on the next part of the drop
Ruby on the following abseil, off a rather springy log (with me sitting on it!)
Rachel on the same abseil, without the benefit of a fat person weighting the log!
Rachel at the top of the next drop, our third
Cut log? Perhaps it had fallen across the nearby road, and chainsawed and rolled into the canyon?
Caoimhin on the third abseil
Crossing the ferny clearing, a front for nettles and raspberry
Ruby in the pretty gorge below the clearing
Lunch at a creek junction
Canyon 2
Caoimhin checking out a canyon in a side creek
Deeper in the side canyon. I climb out and around this section into a higher section, but it looks like it peters out shortly after
Canyon 3
Rachel at the bottom of another canyon
Rachel in the canyon
Looking up the canyon - possibly it opens out above here?
Caoimhin "bridging"
Glum look? This basalt hillside that we need to descend is covered with nettles and prickly bushes
Canyon 4
Another surprise canyon - the light is deceiving as it is almost dark (hurray for high ISO cameras!)
Rachel on the abseil - we probably could have climbed down the left but it was dark
Finally we make it into camp where Rich and Mel have been for some time
