INTRO TO SPELUNKING
In this trip we will explore the first half of this cave system.
I do recommend to attend this trip as preparation for Advance Caving 2-2 coming soon.

Have you ever hear the term Spelunking?
Then you may know the definition or maybe you have it all wrong, anyway if you have never been spelunking and/or caving make sure you check this off your "must do before I die list!!

Spelunking as many prefer, is an adventure sport that combines many different skills into one amazing experience.
Crawling through tight squeezes, wiggling down tunnels on your belly or your backside, climbing up walls of rock – these are just a few of the challenges you might find in a cave environment.
