Cuttagee Lake Paddle

This activity had to be called off due to the forecast of strong winds which would have made the paddle very difficult and unpleasant.

SLIDE NIGHT

 Next activity: Cutagee Lake Paddle - 16th February - see program for details

6th February

Quite a sizeable audience turned up to Club Sapphire Merimbula for an evening of photos and videos from trips members have embarked on. Vicariously the group enjoyed: spectacular hiking, boating, kayaking and snorkelling adventures in Sulawesi; walking in the Bungle Bungles and in many more glorious Western Australian National Parks; touring Newfoundland and other beautful Canadian areas; challenging travel and walking in the Yunnan Province, China; breathtaking cycling in France which included visiting Alpe d'Huez (of Tour de France fame); and amazing walking in Norway. A dinner break, halfway through proceedings provided an opportunity to socialise and discuss future adventure plans.

Thanks to Jeff for all his work in organising and running the evening

RUNNING WITH THE TIDE AT NELSON LAGOON

Next activities: Slide Night - Thursday 6th February and Cuttagee Lake Paddle - 16th February - see program for details

1st February

The group enjoyed a sometimes leisurely, sometimes more demanding exploration of Nelson's Lagoon. Guided by a knowledgable local, we were lead into the various 'lakes' and mangrove created channels that make up the Nelson Lagoon complex. The experience was made more interesting and varied as we negotiated winding routes throught the mangroves against sometimes quite fast moving water. Generally, the weather was close to prefect for a paddle, although some stronger winds at times added to the challenge. All in all, a very rewarding and fun day on the water.

Thanks to Trevor and his assitant Eric for so ably guiding us, Also thanks to Ann for leading the day.

SUMMER WALK

Happy New Year! Next activity: 1st February (Saturday) Running with the tide at Nelson Lagoon (Kayaking event). Also upcoming on 6th February, our annual slide night, don't forget to prepare and let Jeff know if you're planning to present photos - see program for more details on both of these events.

12th January

The year started with a very relaxed walk exploring the area south of Wapengo Lake. Starting from the Bithry Inlet carpark, the route took us through beautiful coastal forest and around parts of the lake shoreline. Highlights included the magnificent spotted gums, a very large sea eagle's nest and the blissful water views. 

Thanks to our leader of the day, Peter.
