canyonero
ok.. so i went canyoning today.. and it is the best thing ever (i know ive said this twice in a week) but this was soo good. omg! if u dont know what it is, basically its following the water along a canyon. its like halfway between bushwalking and caving, sometimes its almost dry, a lot of the time its ankle deep.. sometimes i had no idea how deep it was. there were sections where we had to swim in a canyon which was about 2m wide, but had sheer rock walls 20m up on either side, it looked incredible from down the bottom. some parts we had to jump down a couple a metres into some freezing cold pool, some parts we had to slide down giant fallen trees, some parts we swam under and over waterfalls. ive been on a lot of hikes and camping trips, but today i saw some things id never seen before.. it was rather amazing and stunningly beautiful. it was wet, cold and my nikes were full of gravel, i never had so much fun. i wouldnt have objected to it being a few degrees warmer down there though =p though on the hike back.. i could really feel the heat.. *sigh* hehe

mental note: bring more dry clothes next time.
