CAVING & ABSEILING

Full Day 

The Up & Under Day

Swildons Hole

Abseiling at Split Rock

Goatchurch CavernAbseiling at Burrington Combe

 

This full day caving and abseiling session is full of adventure and excitement.  Caving usually comes first.  You will be kitted up in a special caving oversuit and equipped with a helmet, light and caver's belt.  Wellington boots complete the outfit which we can also supply for you.  After a briefing from your instructor you will set off on the short walk to Goatchurch Cavern.   

Adventurous groups may prefer to visit the wet and spectacular Swildon's Hole

The caving trip will start gently with walking size passages where you will see cave formations and maybe a sleeping bat. As your confidence grows the instructor will gradually introduce you to more challenging routes involving crawls, slides and scrambles. You will see spacious chambers and strange rock formations in secret world of the underground.

After a lunch break it's time to experience the thrill of abseiling.  You will be equipped in a climbing harness and helmet before being instructed in the technique of controlling your own descent.  It's an adrenaline charged experience leaning back over the cliff-top but your instructor will talk you through while holding you securely on the safety rope. 

There are two possible abseil venues:   

Burrington Combe is the ideal venue for most beginners groups. The cliffs are inclined slabs up to 15 metres which are not too intimidating for younger children.

Split Rock near Wells is our  preferred abseiling site for adult groups and more adventurous youngsters.  The cliffs are vertical and up to 25 metres high.  The abseils are long enough to allow a 'bouncing' descent in true SAS style!

Timings - we usually meet at 10.00, have lunch from 12.45 to 13.30   If we decide to go to Split Rock there will be a half hour drive and the afternoon session will start at about 14.00.  The day finishes about 16.30.
