3 - Canyon -
Fortress Canyon
This is short notice and have put it on again after cancelling it recently. The road access is going to close in May and won't be open again until December, so I thought I'd put it on while it is still accessible. Fortress is a fun little canyon, the view from the lunch spot where where Fortress Creek plunges into the Grose Valley is spectacular. In recent years the lunch spot has become a very popular walk and can be overcrowded but on a Friday and with the days getting cooler it should be fairly quiet. The walk out across the open plateau is also outstanding with great views on both sides across the Grose Valley. The canyon itself has only 1-2 short abseils, but it makes up for it with a few attractive sections. The water in late April will be getting cool so a good wetsuit is recommended as some of the swims are longish. The canyon isn't one of the most spectacular but taken with the lunch spot and the walkout it it is a great trip and one always worth doing again. It is an 8km round trip with an ascent of about 200m.

Walford Wall and Rocky Points Creek
Visit this area before the Mount Hay Road is closed in May for 5 months. We will walk out along the Lockley Pylon walking track and then head across to Walford Walls. Depending on the number of cars, we will either walk out to the cliff line and back (a short day) or try to cross Rocky Points Creek and join up with the Mount Hay Road (which will take a bit longer). Mostly off-track with some scrub and possibly some rock scrambling. The Rocky Points Creek section is exploratory for the leader.

3 - Canyon -
Empress Falls
Empress Canyon is a short but very impressive canyon in Valley-of-the-Waters Creek near Wentworth Falls. It is very popular, particularly with commercial groups, due to its easy access, sustained constriction, and number of jumps and swims. It finishes with a spectacular 30m abseil down a large waterfall into a pool in front of the tourists. Grade 3 are welcome.

Goochs Crater
Goochs Crater is a natural sandstone amphitheatre and hanging swamp located in the Gardens of Stone near Lithgow. There are numerous pagodas, cliffs and overhangs nearby, making it a spectacular location. We will approach it from the north and west and complete a circuit. The Wollangambe Fire Trail has been upgraded, and is suitable for larger 2wds and AWDs. The walk is about half off-track in open bushland, and beside a swamp, and is about 7 km / 5 hrs, 150 m total elevation gain, with some easy scrambling and exposure. We will meet opposite the Zig Zag Railway carpark. Details to be advised.
