Grant and I dropped a mountain bike at the take out, before driving round to Mt Peel. We'd asked the farmer and enjoyed the use of his farm track to reach the ridge overlooking Scottsburn without much bother. The descent down the ridge to the stream was pretty easy, with some deer trails that reached super highway status in places.
Once in the stream, we strolled down in the bright sun and waited for the fun to begin. Though there were several sections where the stream walls turned to canyon, this trip was more of a stream walk than a canyoning trip. We did rappel a 7m drop (for the fun of it) and enjoyed a couple of very small slides and downclimbs. The trip was definitely a look and worth repeating with little kids as a mellow taster for canyoning. It was a super hot day, so we only put on our wetsuit shirts and were plenty warm.
About an hour to access, about 2.5hrs through the river to the cars.
