Claustral Canyon ~ 12 March 2006

Party: Greg Salway, Chris Berwick, James Bevan

 

It was a perfect warm sunny day so we headed down into the best canyon of the them all...

On the way in there were some groovy looking fungi growing on one of the trees.

On the first abseil Greg played up for the camera.

At the Ranon junction Greg felt like playing up for the camera again. So he immersed himself in a very very cold pool.

 

He likes the cold water
