Your Adventure begins with a briefing by our RockSport Instructor as you are shown how to put on and use the equipment we provide – caving helmet, lamp and battery pack, karabiner, a boiler suit and Wellington (rubber) boots. We suggest you wear old clothes – a t-shirt and loose fitting trousers, since you will get quite warm, as well as muddy ! You are led a quarter of a mile, past the visitors to Gough’s Cave, as far as “The Black Cat”. We are the best choice for your first caving expedition because of our unique safety features – “fixed” ladders, an underground telephone system, first aid supplies, spare torches and “back up” staff close by. |

It’s a Level 2 multi-pitch caving expedition. You switch on your head lamp for the easy climb to the Mushroom Chamber, a crawl into Sand Chamber, a lifeline down a 40ft steel ladder into the Boulder Chamber, then climb up the Far Rift, emerge through April Fool’s Squeeze, clip onto a wire traverse and crawl across The Bottomless Pit, then slip headfirst through The Letterbox, before returning to the Sand Chamber on your way out – muddy, but proud ! A Certificate of Achievement is awarded to everyone who successfully completes the expedition, after you’ve handed in your kit and washed your face and hands. |
