Some people want to :D around while others proceed at a slower pace and pay attention to cave detail and structure and peek into every crevice. A slower pace can also be very rewarding for someone with a camera.

It is planned that there will be some of the classic Mendip caves left rigged for the week so delegates (and local cavers!) can self-lead without the faff of having to carry rope in and out. Full details should be available on the opening weekend and via the event Facebook page.
