The following is a list of trips proposed by club members. If you wish to participate in a trip, please have the courtesy to register as far in advance as possible as trip leaders have to organise equipment and transport and deal with lots of people at once. Some trips may be forced to change dates, leaders, or details as unforeseen things crop up. Keep a lookout on the web site and email list for the most up to date info. Note that many of the activities listed are inherently dangerous, and you could be seriously injured or even die - please be careful.

Royal National Park Overnight Walk Saturday, 4 July 2009 till Sunday, 5 July 2009 Janelle Brown Limit: 12
Overnight Coastal Walk - Royal National Park
One of the main features of the Royal National Park just South of Sydney is the long magnificent coastline. There are a number of fine, white sand beaches and spectacular cliff lines along much of the distance. The Park is located about an hour and a half south of Sydney.
This is a 24km walk and will be suited to reasonably fit people, it is not a hard walk and the direction we will taking would be from Otford to Bundeena, which makes it a bit easier. This walk can even be done in one day so we will be taking it easy over the two days we have. It's a great opportunity to see some beautiful sites, great coastal views and with a bit of luck a whale or too - it is the season!
Day 1 - 10.5km walk - We will be camping at Wattamolla camp ground, a beautiful and relaxing lagoon and beach.
Day 2 - 13.5 km walk - we will walk from Wattmolla to Bundeena.
We will be catching the train on Saturday morning to Otford and then on Sunday evening a Ferry and train back to sydney. More details about the exact meeting place and time will be sent to everyone who joins in.

Club Climbing @ The Ledge
Mondays is our regular club night at the Ledge. This means we get discounted entry at $5 (remember we also receive a discount the rest of the week of $7 per entry)
Meet club members, learn to climb, have a laugh about the weekend and make plans for the next.
Generally we arrive around 6.30 and stay as long as we can and then head over to the Lansdown for a cheap meal and a beer.
Anyone can come. We provide harness use free for Club members, and there's always enough people to help out, so don't be afraid to come alone.
