Caving
What is it?
Caving is the exploration of underground cave systems.
What can I expect to experience?
Cave systems are cool in the summer and warm in the winter, with a fairly constant temperature of around 7 degrees Celsius most of the year. Often cave systems have rivers or streams within them. Most caves have stalactites, stalagmites and other formations.
