Caving!
With
no previous experience required, caving is suitable for just about
anyone. Many people wonder if they'll become claustrophobic in a
cave. This is very unlikely. People who are claustrophobic wouldn't
even entertain the idea of caving , let alone think about giving it a
go. There are some tight places you have to wriggle through but they
are generally very short and not unlike crawling under a bed. It is
quite a physical activity but lots of fun and a truly unique
experience.
Why do Caving with Us?
We're a bunch of Cavers who take caving very seriously.
we're the people who run your Caving

PRACTICAL
RAFTING TIPS
All
rafters will be given a safety briefing before the ride and will
be shown basic backward and forward paddling techniques. Always
check that the helmets and life jackets provided fit you well
and are not too tight or too loose.
Your life
jacket will buoy you in the eventuality of the raft overturning.
If you've over-turned close to the river bank, don't use your
raft paddle, as you may hit someone else. Do not attempt to use
the paddle as a lever against rocks as you risk getting hit by
it.
The
following are some points to remember:
Bring a
change of clothes.
Wear
well-fitting shoes or diving booties or sandals or rubber
shoes
Jewellery
which cannot be secured firmly should not be worn while
rafting.
Those
wearing glasses are reminded to use an elastic sports
sholder to anchor their spectacles.
Contact
lens users are advised to wear spectacles instead, in order
to cut down the risk of their lenses getting contaminated by
river water.
