Personal, Private guiding, Introduction to Caving

INTRODUCTION TO CAVING

If you have ever thought of travelling back in time, caving offers the ideal opportunity to transport yourself 300 million years in the past. The first time you go caving can be quite daunting! However, taking your first steps into an underground caving system and learning about how it was formed to discovering spectacular rock formations carved out by running water. Even touching exposed fossils of long ago extinct creatures or observing evidence of mining dating back centuries can be a really rewarding and educational experience.

Whether you fancy a gentle introduction to caving, or would like a more challenging adventure, our experienced Instructors will put you at ease and will ensure you get the most out of your trip. Caving is the perfect all year-round activity as the temperature underground remain a constant 8 Degrees Centigrade whatever the weather decides to do outside. So, what are you waiting for? Come and join us!

Come and get a taste of caving with Gateway Adventure! Our Introduction To Caving trips are just the perfect way to push individuals slightly out of
your comfort zone, as well as encouraging a group to work together in order to get around the cave system in a safe and controlled manor.

These trips take you a little deeper underground than our Discover Caving trips but are done in a relaxed and easy explore for anyone who is ready to start to crawl through tunnels or attempt a squeeze or two. As a team, you may even get the chance to venture into an area of the cave on your own, eventually meeting back up with your instructor at the end of the selected challenge.

Our highly experienced instructors will put you at ease and look after you every step of the way! So, if you don’t mind getting a little wet and muddy, why don’t you come and join us for a trip you will never forget? Who knows, you may even learn a little something about how and why the caves were formed.
