CAVING
@ TEMPURUNG CAVE (GRAND TOUR)
Caver with a participant at one of many
crawl passages at Tempurung Cave ""
participants being briefed on cave formations,
how they are formed and so forth............... ""
In 1985, Steve Knutson
(editor of American Caving Accidents) made the following distinction:
"...Note that I
use
the term 'spelunker' to denote someone untrained and unknowledgeable in
current exploration techniques, and 'caver' for those who are."
What is
Caving Anyway? Caving
or spelunking
The
most commonly asked question is probably "What
do you find down there? " The answers are as varied
as the caves themselves: mud; beautiful rock formations and
rubble; water and dust; vast rooms and tight crawlways; awesome
rivers and puddles; strange and fragile animals; deep pits and
waterfalls; cold and warm water; and, of course, strange people.
One finds, eventually, whatever one is looking for.
Caving! 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?
