one ). Book one, two or three days.

If you come for two consecutive days in the mid week we promise we'll not do the same cave twice in the same week, so you you may wish to book two or three days with us and enjoy six different caving in just three days.

Event starts 10-00 am at Rock Lea and ends at c. 4-00 pm. Hot showers and changing facilities are available for our paying guests...better than shivering changing behind some van in the
