<div class="triptitle">Canyonning - Strubklamm</div>
<p>A canyonning trip was suggested, and as I'd done it a couple of
times before and thus knew where it was, and what to look out for, it
was easy to blag my way on. We had this idea a bit later in the day
than was ideal, because Strubklamm is miles away (most of the way back
to Salzburg), but it also meant that I was able to collect Tess from
the station before buggering off like a very naughty husband. I had
brought my new wetsuit and was eager to find out if it made Strubklamm
into a much less cold-and-miserable experience than previous
attempts. I was also able to borrow a (kayaking) helmet and neoprene
booties from Julia, which, combined with some sandals and spare caving
gloves, was enough kit to canyon (as this one doesn't actually need a
harness if you can manage an 8m jump).</p>
<p>We were going to take my van and Charlotte's car but Tess wanted
the Van, and it's a long way to take two cars, so when PhilB appeared
we pounced on him and made him drive all 5 of us there (Charlote in
the boot). This was very kind as it's about 1hr40 mins each way, and
he doesn't even get to do the canyon. Having a driver avoids all the
shuttle-faff too, which is great, especialy as it turned out the
huttle-road was closed for works, so there was quite a long
drive-around which would have made us even later.</p>
<p>This was Isaac and Charlotte's 1st ever canyonning trip, and
Marie's 2nd (after the disastrously cold 'Haute Borne' in the
Ardeche), but we were a crack team of potholers with two harnesses
between us so what could possibly go wrong?</p>
<p>In fact the descent was very smooth with everyone having fun, at
least to start with. The water was quite a pleasant temperature,
although every inlet was much colder so we got a chilly bit every so
often as they came in. However it is longer than I remember and there
is a _lot_ of swimming, with a long section in the middle starting
with a canyon, and then a couple more long swims. Clearly the local
canyonning school uses it a lot so there were lots of in-situ ropes
for getting to good takeoffs and dealing with any slippery bits, or
just abseiling if you didn't like the bigger jumps. (Marie skipped the
biggest one).</p>
<p>Much jumping fun was had, with Charlotte of course taking to the
game with gusto, although neither of us was any good at keeping the
water out of our noses on impact, and I managed to bite my tongue on
one jump, which was dim. Everyone avoided broken ankles or being
impaled on trees, just some coughing and spluttering.</p>
<p>I hardly recognised any of the 2nd half as obviously my brain had
shut down with the chilly misery on the previous two attempts after
the 1st long swim. This time it was all rather lovely - it is a _very_
pretty canyon. Marie found herself a bit short of stoke after the 1st
half, partly due to the baggy 2mm wetsuit and partly not having
evtirely recovered from the great chunder trip. 1.4km of canyonning
(with ~400m of swimming) over 3 hours feels like quite a long
way, and it was a relief to swim round a corner and finally see a
slackline being rigged and a footbridge with a beach which marks the
escape.</p>
<p>Phil was even there to rescue us, so that all worked out
nicely. Good trip, and it's a lot nicer with 5 than 10 but still takes
a solid 3 hours. We got back about 7pm.</p>

On the trip back from Garlic, Isaac and I visited the shaft with actual vertical gear and some Petzl Pulses. While Isaac nipped down to Homecoming to find a drill bit, I scouted the rigging. The rock at the top was a bit funky due to frost etc. After a bit of beating, I identified places to set some pulses. Isaac returned with the drill and I quickly drilled a few holes and placed the pulses.

I love camping in unusual places and so I was excited, if not a little apprehensive, for an underground camp. This would be my first surveying trip and first trip after becoming quite ill in Homecoming and so the fear of everything that could go wrong so deep underground for so long was quite high but luckily the thrill of adventure triumphed in the end. I was in good hands with two very experienced expo goers who offered great advice whilst packing for the trip - a special shout out to the raisins and seeds that Anthony packed which made our morning porridge significantly more palatable and nutritious. I was worried we would be stuck at top camp in the pouring rain for the day but it turns out I never fully understood the meaning of caving faff until I helped pack for an underground camp. We were only just about ready when the rain lessened up around 4pm and so we took advantage of the weather window and scampered across the plateau under ominous clouds, hopes high that nothing too important had been forgotten. <p>

On the way back to camp we replaced the old (2012) rope from the Northern Powerhouse up-pitch and also surveyed a short side passage. I ran away to camp to make a start on dinner while the surveying was done. An inventory was taken and an early night was had.
<p>
A very early morning and a relatively faff-less start was achieved. Mongol Rally was quickly started by Becka. I tried to make my life easier by abseiling out of the window on an Italian hitch with my jammers on the up rope. The plan failed when the carabiner failed to open, resulting in me having to untie the rope from the natural it was secured to in order to feed it through my carabinier to then try again. James was not impressed and made sure to hold onto the rope. Once this first obstacle was passed I was off, being chased by James and trying to keep up with Becka, which didn't happen. My pantin and croll weren't being helpful, making my life very unpleasant. Much suffering was gone through trying to exit, much to everyone else's entertainment. The exhaustion caught up at the bottom of the entrance series. Much flapjack was consumed, giving me a second wind. I exited to Becka telling me that we were behind schedule and cracking the whip.

Sarah, Nat, Zac and Phil drove up the loser. We then hiked up to the Col. It being Sarah, Nat and Zac's first time up since the installation of the new cable car, we were quite taken unawares by the new path from the car park. From there it was plain hiking up to the col. Once at the Col, Phil s parted ways and headed off on his own adventures. Sarah, Nat and Zac, meanwhile hiked on to top camp. Once there we caught Becka as she was leaving and James W and Colin as they were thinking about leaving. After a little faffing and some noodles, we rang down to base camp to ask what kit we should carry down. We were told only some some roll mats and camp beds for Garlic. Packing these, alongside some tackle sacks from a recent Balkon trip (See report), we began to head down. Zac Lagged behind a lot of the way as his new shoes were wearing on his feet. But eventually we reached the loser car park where we all packed, tightly, into Sarah's car and drove down the hill.

- No actual survex for saruman. Previously surveyed but not dropped. <br />
- Never was a welsh engineering svx file. Only eye of sauron and rivendell svx files - different surveying trips so needed different names. Tried to name the area welsh engineering as the other things were just different pots<br />
