We are in need of some beginner cavers who would be keen to help be crash test dummies for our caving trip leaders in training on Saturday 11th!
It will be a horizontal caving trip (no vertical SRT rope work). However there will be some crawling, climbing around rocks, scrambling, and staring into the abyss.
You will need:
- Helmet (can be borrowed from the club)
- Headlight + spare batteries / backup headlight
- Sensible shoes to cave in that will get muddy / dirty
- Clothes you can get dirty in. Tradie top / bottoms are a great choice. The club has a limited selection of overalls that can be borrowed
- Gardening gloves
- Small packed lunch
- Water
- Jacket etc
- Change of clothes and clean shoes for the car
- Towel + shampoo etc (there are hot showers at Bungonia)
- Big floppy sunhat
- Caving sunglasses
- Plastic bag to put all your dirty clothes in
In your comments below, let us know:
a) if you have a car or need a lift
b) what’s your favourite cave (or the cave you’d love to visit)
c) what previous caving experience do you have
d) what gear do you need to borrow from the club
