Do you fancy giving Caving a go.

​What is Caving, In limestone areas, the ground beneath our feet is riddled with passage-ways and  huge caverns that few people ever see.  Some of the caverns are so large that St Paul’s Cathedral could fit inside.  These passage-ways and caverns are joined in networks called systems.  Inside the caves, the rock has been sculpted into fantastic shapes by the water and white calcite formations decorated the interior.The sport of caving is the exploration of these systems and is not all wriggling and squirming through small holes.  In fact, on many trips much time is spent walking. 

​If you would like to know more and maybe join us on a caving trip, just fill in your details on the form opposite and we will get back to you.

Why do we go Caving, this is a question that we are always asked, and some of our answers would be like - experience a unique environment, explore places very few people have been too before, see amazing calcite formations and sculpted rock, challenge ourselves, keep fit and mainly have fun.

What do I Wear. For your first caving experience underground we would not recommend that you buy anything new, as a first underground trip with us would be suitably chosen. So a boiler suit or old waterproofs as a outer layer with old, warm clothes underneath (not jeans). Wellington's with good grips on the soles. You can hire a caving lamp, helmet and belt. Also we would recommend that you bring along a complete change of clothes, an old towel, a change of footwear, a bin bag or old holdall for muddy clothes and finally something to eat after the trip and a mars bar or something similar to take in.

More info on getting started in Caving here.

This is the latest in helmet/light technology, using a 14 led headlight, which will run on 4 AA battery's, clipped to rear of helmet.

​This is our caving belt, it can also be used to carry the older type caving lamp battery, but it also has a 'D' ring, to which you can easy be connected to a rope or sling to assist with carrying equipment.

A pair of sturdy wellington boots are also recommended to protect feet. Please note that they are likely to get wet inside and out!

​Caving Outer Suit, these suits come in a variety of materials and colours, and are well made to take on the caving environment.

Knee (and Elbow) pads, These items considerably improve comfort when caving. There can be significant amounts if crawling in a caving environment and knee pads offer important protection. They also add additional resistance against wear and tear on the outer caving suit.
