Hi all
Recently hired a cave guide for my climbing clubs away trip to Yorkshire to try something different, was a great success and we had a great day out.
We were taken down Long Churn at 1st and spent the morning in there generally wandering around and had a play in the Cheese grater (which I did not fit through)
The afternoon was spent doing Calfholes to Browgill through trip which felt a lot more adventurous but at least if did fit through the squeeze.
So that is my caving experience, feel I am generally outdoors savvy, Climber summer and winter, Alpine mountaineer, mountain biker etc
So the question is what cave would anyone recommend for 3 or 4 of us to go and try on our own, some thing on a similar grade to Long Churn would be great, was thinking of just going down Carlswark at Stoney Via the Gin entrance having an explore and then return via the same route but a through route would be more satisfying
We will all have several headtorches each with us but only Petzl Tikkas and the like. We will leave info of where we a heading with a responsible other and have a check in time to get in touch with cave rescue if not checked in
Any thoughts please?
Thanks in advance
