Geocache Description:

A spectacular Abseil trip down Castle Head and A spectacular Canyoning experience at Empress Canyon.

Not for the feint hearted! 5 abseil pitches of up to 50mtrs down the end of Castle Head above the Ruined Castle.

This is not the time to learn how to Abseil, but, if you are reasonably experienced and would like a thrilling day out then this event cache is for you.

The Plan:
Meet at Glenbrook tourist information centre (Carpark around the back) by 7:15am. Leave there at 7:30am sharp and then perhaps car pool up to Katoomba to our departure point.

Walk out to Castle head, jump off the end with ropes and metal bits attached.

After that, we head back down to Wentworth Falls to cool off in one of the most fun canyons that is easy to get to - Empress Falls. For this you will need your DV's and a wetsuit.

This will be a full on day!

Post a note if you would like to attend, including abseiling experience, whether you have your own harness and hardware etc.

There is even a chance after doing the canyon, to go do a Multi Cache that is nearby and has only been done by a couple of people!
