This is a log book of my canyoning trips, with trip reports for some, and photos from many recent ones. This page is just a spin-off from Tom's trip reports only brought about by Tom snapping his Achilles tendon in late 2006 meaning I had to branch out and do some trips without him!
For more well-known canyons, there are also links to Tom's track notes.
