REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS NOW CLOSED. Spelunking (Caving) Exploration

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING BEFORE SIGNING UP.

Cost: $110 + GST. You will be responsible for calling and making your own payment with a credit card. They have a NO REFUND POLICY, so be certain before you book, that you can attend this event, as they will not refund your money.

I will be organising the carpool and available to answer any questions or concerns you might have. I have tentatively booked spots for that day - but they will not hold them without payment, so if you want to go, please pay by the cut off date. This is unusual but necessary this time.

This is on a FIRST PAID-FIRST SERVED BASIS. Register online and they will call you for a credit card number. Once you have paid, add yourself to the list. I will confirm with them. Please do not add yourself to the list without contacting them first and paying for your spot.

"Join us for a day of adventure and discover the deep, dark, caves of the escarpment near Collingwood. Have a fun day while you crawl, climb, and travel through the naturally air-conditioned caves. We lower you into an 80-foot crevice cave to explore the underground world. You'll enter some extensive caves and as you crawl to the bottom of one cave, follow the echo of the water and you'll encounter a freshwater spring."

Clothing, Equipment and Meals

"We provide all the technical equipment such as helmets, harnesses and other required gear. Wear weather-appropriate clothing. Quick dry clothing (polyester or nylon) is recommended. Make sure to wear clothing you are not worried about getting dirty or ripped. Bring a rain jacket, as the program will run regardless of weather conditions. Hiking shoes or running shoes are appropriate for the day. Pack water, insect repellent, and extra layer as well as your lunch in a small backpack. Your lunch will be travelling with you through the caves."

Ice climbing with this company was organised and professional, everything needed was provided and it was a lot of fun! - Kate
