Packrafting is all the rage, but most of us have never done it.
This pub night at the Wig and Pen is a chance to get everyone together who might be interested, with a few people who've done it before (hopefully) and work out a plan to set up some come and try sessions, and maybe even a few trips.
We'll probably be focusing on trips for reasonably experienced paddlers on the basis most places you'd take a packraft will require quite a bit of fitness or skills, but anyone else is welcome to come along and we'll see what we can put together.
Time for us to sort out what's in the gear store, and make sure its all there. We will provide pizza and drinks to people that come help us.
Legend has it that there is a group of ANUMCers frozen in the depths of Australia's deepest glaciers since the club's founding year, 1967. It is said that they emerge only once a year, over the Labour Day long weekend, when the spring thaws and the club celebrates the annual Main Range Extravaganza. To mark our 50th anniversary, the club will carry out an expedition to recover these lost souls. This trip is only for the club's fiercest and bravest, for who knows what we shall find in our search...
