The Dry Canyon (or Wolgan View Canyon, or Noble’s Canyon, e.t.c.) is one of those little trips that never gets done, because it’s too easy. Not long enough to fill a day, but just a bit too inconvenient to squeeze in on the way home from something else. So I figured I should do it … More The Dry Canyon by Bike
Aaaaah Bell Creek, the old nemesis, the canyon trip that just never seemed to happen. Just mentioning the name seemed to conjure bad weather forecasts and obstacles. I remember at least two planned trips which were cancelled before they left Sydney, and a third attempt with Steve Hare that actually departed, but ended up with … More For Whom The Bell Tolls: traversing Bell Creek complete in a day

On the Toblerstrasse, yeah, as in the surname … More Sam in Europe, Part 4: Lombardy
As I was doing the cool annotated map for the last post, I thought, “Hey, having the Mt Wilson and Wollongambe maps scanned and spliced together like that just by themselves would have been MIGHTY HELPFUL when we were attempting the canyon”. So for future reference, here you go.
Bell Creek is becoming a bit of a nemesis. Not only does it have an ability to call up bad weather forecasts as soon as you mention its name, it’s also the trickiest of all the Mt Wilson canyons to get to. After two attempts called off due to rain (one a few weeks ago, … More Mini-epic debriefing: Bell Creek Canyon attempt 24/2/12
