Caving
Overview
Caving takes you into the hidden landscape beneath the hills: streamways, echoing chambers, formations that took millennia to grow, and the odd tight squeeze to keep things interesting. Your headtorch shows the next few feet, and the rest is anticipation.
You need no experience, just a sense of adventure and no strong objection to getting muddy. Beginner trips are chosen to suit the group, and a guide leads the way, so worries about the dark or tight spaces are usually smaller than people fear once they are down there.
The instructors on adventuro run guided caving trips for all levels, with helmets, lamps and oversuits provided. You come out filthy, buzzing and seeing the hills differently.
