4 - Abseiling -
Ropes Practice and Sleeper Canyon
Practise canyoning skills at advanced level 5. There maybe room for some level 3's to join in the team work and abseiling, however a safety ratio will need to be reached before accepting level 3's. Priority is for level 4 and 5's, this means level 3's may need to wait while 4 and 5's do their rigging etc. We'll do sleeper canyon in the afternoon, if there is time and interest.

3 - Bike Ride -
Hanging Rock Bike Ride
The Hanging Rock trail at Blackheath is a 10 km return ride on a fire trail that is closed to vehicles. The ride is suitable for less experienced riders and will be at a slow pace. Some of us will walk up the steep hills. The ride ends at Baltzer LO. Here we leave our bikes and have lunch overlooking the Grose Valley. A short walk down to Hanging Rock follows. We return along fire trail to our vehicles at the locked gate on Ridgewell Road, Here there are short mountain bike trails through the bush. These are a lot of fun to explore and are an option at the end of the ride. I aim to finish early afternoon to avoid the traffic.
