Hi My name is Curtis I?m wanting to get in to the world of caving I?m aware that with the current situation it?s Going to be dificult and was hoping to get some advice and tips on getting started, what equipment I will need and I was wondering if I start using climbing centre might help. I know it?s Ment for mountaineering but though might work for going down. My overall goal is to visit the fairy caves in east gate near Stanhope I know I?m going to have to build up to it. I plan on hoping the bca not through a club and hope to find clubs/people on the way.
