That is sensible stuff if you intend to go caving, but if you have gone off for a walk and taken a torch so that you could look in at the entrance of a cave that you know is there, then what harm is there is popping in for a little way until you get to the top of the Giant's Staircase when you decide this is far enough. I took my two of my kids in that far with just a torch when they were 4 and 6. I knew what it was like in there and knew it wasn't particularly dangerous (slippy maybe) you can still see the entrance light, and a lot of it isn't even entirely dark.
