Hi,
I’m trying to get into caving and am hoping to start off in the Yorshire Dales. I have a fair bit of experience above ground solo scrambling and hiking (summer and winter). I’m confident with rope and abseil techniques and have a small mountaineering rack (alpine harness, 40m rope, shiny metal things, helmet, etc). I have caved several times before but only in groups with an experienced caver.
Please can someone recommend some good caves north of Malham Cove to start down, or an appropriate guide book.
Also, I will be going alone and would like to know people’s experience of caching gear at the cave entrance (warm kit, fresh shoes and so on).
Thank you and kind regards
