caving-courses

Imagine standing in a place that has taken millions of years to form.

A place where the walls are made entirely of fossils, entwined with veins of minerals.

Move through passages cut by ancient waters, which still flow today and be inspired by cavernous chambers and beautiful crystal formations.

The journey into this secret world will take you down abseils, up waterfalls and over climbs, passing ancient sites from long ago.

In this astonishing realm you will discover what it is to journey into the heart of our earth, appreciating our geology, minerals, history and more.

It is an adventure, a challenge requiring fortitude and motivation, ideal for team building and for the development of your personal skills.

Visit incredible places full of wonderment that few can envisage, brought to life and safeguarded by a knowledgeable instructor and informative guide.

Learn, experience and reach new depths.

This is what it is to cave.
