BH24: Caving
11 people attending
1 place left
This event is intended for attendees of BIG Halloween 2024.
Join us for a day's caving! This event is led by a professional, qualified caving instructor, and is open to all abilities (see the difficulty description below the booking button). The specific cave and route will be decided when we all meet up so that as much of the group as possible gets the right level of challenge.
The activity will be in complete darkness, with only the lights on your heads. You'll spend much of the day in fairly enclosed spaces, but there will be some open chambers along the way. Depending on the route chosen (and the weather on the day) you might get wet, and you'll almost certainly get muddy. You may need to crawl through some sections, and there may be heights involved, depending on the route chosen.
After an exhilarating day out (or is it in?), on your return back to our venue you'll need to help sort out the kit before you go and get your much needed showers.
🎃 If you want to make caving a more Halloweeny activity, watch The Descent (2005) before coming to BIG Halloween.
