About The Adventure
Join Women Embrace Adventure on this weekend you will never forget. This weekend is all about stepping outside your comfort zone, taking on new challenges, meeting new friends and laughing like you have never laughed before. Hike, Abseil and go Caving with a bunch of adventurous, fun loving, like minded women in beautiful Bungonia National Park also known as the adventure capital of the Southern Highlands.
We meet for our action packed weekend on Saturday the 28th March at 10am and will finish our weekend on Sunday the 29th at approximately 3pm.
HIKING: CAVES WALK
Our Hike is approx 5kms and will take us 2 - 2.5hours to complete allowing us time to enjoy our surrounds. We hike through woodlands, gullies, gorges and rainforest, taking in scenic lookouts and wildlife. We will go off track a little and look for cave entrances marked on the National park map. The hike is scenic, interesting and offers the most spectacular view from a cliff top into the gorge below.
CAVING: GRILL CAVE
Grill cave is a very popular cave in the Bungonia State Conservation Area, and probably the best cave for introducing people to the sport of Caving. Ladders, poles and wire fences have been installed throughout the cave to aid in its accesibility, avoiding the necessity of using ropes to descend. You will be wearing a helmet and have a head torch (we will provide a helmet and headtorch) to guide you through the dark cave. As this is a great introduction to Caving there are no extremely tight squeezes, no water and plenty of areas to stand and rest along the way. Although it is a beginner caving experience you need to be aware that the cave is dark, dirty, rugged and sometimes slippery BUT you are in the best hands with our experienced guides and hosts to help you through every step. The Caving experience will be around 3 hours in length.
ABSEILING:
Walking backwards off a cliff is not a ‘normal’ activity for most BUT don't worry during this abseiling session you are introduced to both equipment and techniques that make it safe yet still challenging. We focus on promoting good technique and confidence on small sections of cliff before gradually increasing the height and raising the challenge! During this 3 hour session you will have the opportunity to abseil from heights of 10m up to 35m.
CAMPING:
On the Saturday night we camp in the Bungonia Campgrounds. The campgrounds combine a beautiful bushland setting with excellent camping facilities and is the perfect base for all of our activities. Be prepared to put up a tent, help with lunch, dinner and breakfast preparations with your fellow camp mates. If you can play guitar please bring it along, there is nothing better than a guitar around the campfire after a busy day.
