Hi Guys,
We live in Kent and I'm looking for a cave/s, probably in the southwest, that I can take my son down in the first weekend of October.
I'd not call myself a caver, although I've done it about thirty times, mostly in Yorkshire. I'd say the most challenging caving I've done was leading 4 other people into and out of Gapping Gill via Bar Pot. My son is 15 and I've recently taken him to do the Long Churns and Calf Hole. He loved it.
We have a free weekend coming up and when I asked him what he would like to do, he said caving. Ideally what I would like to do is find caves nearest to Kent (hence suggesting the southwest). I'd also like the caves to be long and if those caves also included a bit of SRT and maybe a short sump that would be great. I know I'm asking a lot and I know what I'm after might not exist, but I would love to hear your suggestions.
I'm after stepping up my son's experience without putting him off.
Cheers, Cass.
