Medium | TBC | Want to brush up your SRT? Join us at 6.30pm on Tuesday for Urban Caving, we'll meet up after work and practice SRT, rebelays, diversions and just plain prusiking up the rope. As we'll be working in the dark, the feeling of being in a cave will be simulated. So bring your helmet and head torch also, you must have your own SRT gear! When you book in the venue will be revealed (a hint ... it will be in the inner suburbs). This is not a supervised practice day, you must already be SRT competent. |

Medium | Blue Mountains | Postphoned from last year! The 200 m long by 60 m wide and 60-80 m high promontory at the junction of Wentworth Creek and Flat Top Brook demands to be climbed - there is a cairn on the top! This is what this overnight walk is about! Some "bits" are exploratory for the leader. |

Medium - Hard | Wee Jasper | We're planning an exploratory trip to Wee Jasper caves over the King's Birthday weekend. This is not a training trip, and all participants must be SRT competent, and have their own equipment. The club will provide the ropes. Car camping on the reserve (reservations must be made). |

Medium | Wombeyan | Introduction to Caving - Pending Permit - NPWS have approved date. Arriving Friday night (where possible) Car Camping at the Wombeyan Reserve (bookings essential), this will be both a familiarisation trip for leader(s) and an opportunity for those new to caving to be guided through some horizontal caves. Helmet, and head torch required, overalls if you have them and day pack to carry lunch. Caves yet to be determined. Concurrently, some members will be cleaning some flowstone in one of the old tourist caves, all participants will be required to carry some water up to the cave to be cleaned, but that will be the limit of their involvement. Bookings for camping in the Wombeyan Reserve must be made ASAP. Limited to 8 cavers/leaders. |

Medium | Blue Mountains | Mostly on track day walk to visit a number of impressive Aboriginal Art Shelters and engraving sites as well as look for one I haven't been to (but have a GR for). Wear long pants or gaters as about 2km will be off-track. |

Medium | Tuena | Visiting The Sounder. These caves are on private property in the Tuena area. The plan is to visit the caves and refamiliarise ourselves with them, also to provide the new property owners within information and history of the caves. If there's enough time we will also consider re-surveying, or just make a plan to do that on a future trip. Other activities (caves or abseiling) may be included. |
