THE YORKSHIRE DALES ARE HOME TO THE VERY BEST VERTICAL CAVE SYSTEMS IN THE UK!!

Our vertical caving trips provide a brilliant opportunity to explore deeper into the underground world, whether you are new to caving, or have been caving before and want to progress to the next level. These caving trips will include a vertical section to be negotiated on ladder and lifeline, with magnificent sights to reward the extra effort! We supply all the kit required for this amazing experience including caving oversuit, fleece undersuit, helmet and light, harness and wellies.

The day will begin by meeting at our outdoor activity barn near Stainforth at 9.00am. Here you will be briefed by your highly experienced instructor about the day and then kitted out with all the required caving equipment before following the instructor in your car to the parking location for the caves. It will then be a short walk of around 10-25mins to the caves, depending on venue and you should expect a caving trip in the region of 3hrs duration. After the trip, you can return to our barn to change before departing.

More information will be provided upon booking, including directions, kit lists, more information about the day and medical forms. Please do keep an eye on your junk/SPAM email as sometimes our email with attachments does end up in here.

If you have any questions about the day, then please dont hesitate to get in touch via phone, email, or our enquiry form on the website.

Please note that the sun doesn't always shine in the Yorkshire Dales, and we cannot offer refunds in the event of a cancellation due to particularly adverse weather conditions. However, we do have a range of excellent and exciting venues we can use and so we will do our very best to choose a suitable venue for the day in the event of bad weather.
