Caving

Caving is the exploration & discovery of passages millions of years old, which are still changing today. It gives you the opportunity to see things that few people have experienced.

 

Imagine abseiling in to caverns to see powerful waterfalls & beautiful formations

Experience the impressive sites only ever seen underground. All under the expert tuition of an experienced and qualified instructor

 

Introductory level

We will visit one of the classic caves of the area, where you will not only see some fantastic sites, but you will also learn a little about the geology of the caves & how they were formed.

You may see huge caverns or thundering underground waterfalls, but certainly it will be a day to remember

 

Intermediate

·         Ladder & lifeline

You may be up for a little bit more of a thrill, we can look in to systems with a more vertical nature, where we will abseil down the rope, & return with the aid of a ladder
