Caving

What to expect on an Cave session?

After around a 45 minute drive from Brixham you will arrive in a parking area a short walk away from the cave. Your instructors will kit you up in cave suits, wellies, helmets, head torches and a belt before leading you towards the cave entrance. Once in the cave entrance, you will be taught how your headtorches work and given a safety briefing. We will then begin to enter the first passageway into the cave which leads up to a small chamber. From here there are many options for routes which will take in the best parts of the cave and will be suited to the ability of the group. For the more adventurous there are options to get wet, squeeze through some tighter sections and take on some climbs. For those who are interested in the geology and history, your instructors are informative and will point out key features. Our sessions are varied and depend on the ability and size of the group.
