After a solid session last night and a 4am bed time Dave the Sailor and I were up early this morning and there is some exploring I’ve been keen to do out at 12 Mile Delta.
Rob wasn’t around – most likely due to the two ugly chicks he was messing with. They were ugly…. and I know ugly.
The area I wanted to explore has a secret entry to it….
The first part of the walk wasn’t too tough and this is where we had a bit of a siesta. Waterfalls are so boring – NOT.
Because of the ice everywhere we thought that perhaps we could find a way out of the canyon by going up stream and avoiding the nasty climb down….. Things got serious rather quickly.
Dave chilling out on a log – in the event of a fall if he didn’t die (although he probably would), the water temp was maybe 5 C, the gorge is maybe 300m deep vertically so that would rule out helicopter rescue and there is no way a stretcher would get through the tunnel. Don’t fall Dave.
We only made it another 50m or so upstream before we got closed in and we had to retrace our steps to get out. Not a happy place and this is the final crossing of the creek…
And for those coming over this winter, don’t worry if you forget the Duty Free Rum – I’ve got some alternative accommodation for you.
