| This full
day caving session is ideal for anyone who has
never ventured into the exciting world of cave
exploration. The level of difficulty depends upon the
group - for younger children it can be quite gentle, for
keen adults we can make it very challenging! 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 the entrance of the first
cave.
Goatchurch Cavern is the ideal
venue for most beginners groups. It is dry and offers the
choice of an inviting walk-in entrance or a more exciting
rope-slide alternative. The cave is quite a maze which
means there are routes suitable for all abilities.
Keen cavers can wriggle through the 'Superman Squeeze' while
the less adventurous take a more spacious route. The 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 the secret world of the underground.
Your trip into Goatchurch will
last about one and a half hours. After a break for
lunch we re-locate 6 miles to the historic village of Priddy
and our second cave:
Swildon's Hole is the longest
cave system of the Mendip Hills with over 9 kilometres of
passages. The manhole entrance into rushing
water can appear slightly daunting but beyond are
spectacular waterfalls and large caverns filled with
fabulous stalactite formations. You will get wet in this
cave as you negotiate the many cascades and waterchutes.
Timings - we usually meet at
10.00, have lunch from 12.45 to 13.30 and then drive to
Priddy to reach Swildon's at about 14.00. The day
finishes about 16.30.
