As always we have been monitoring the weather conditions which are proving unfavorable for this week. We have therefore had to reschedule the Adventure Caving event to Sunday 1 December 2019. We apologies for any inconvenience caused.

On the trail of Martel 

Delve off the beaten track with our experienced and qualified Cave Leader to explore “adventure” caving in the depths of the Marble Arch Caves system.  Your group of eight will explore cave passages, negotiate boulder chambers and clamber through the well-known flyover to emerge into the public tour of the show cave before navigating your way out, muddy and ecstatic!

 Sessions:

Registration will be at the Marble Arch Caves Visitor Centre. We are running two sessions.

Morning session from 9:30 – 12:30

Timetable: Breakfast will be served  in the Marble Arch Cave at 9:30am. You will meet your Cave Instructor at 10:00 who will distribute and brief you on the caving gear and provide time to change. You will enter the cave around 10:30, the trip will take maximum  2 hours before returning to the visitor centre for 12:30 to return gear and change.
