A novice weekend, a few people (adults) who have never caved on Mendip (or anywhere else) before and have only the basic kit required for _dry_ caving. They are ok on very short simple ladder pitches but not too experienced at general climbing.
Itinerary: Saturday, practising for "The Big Trip" on Sunday.
Sat AM: Goatchurch
Sat PM: Sidcot Swallet.
Sun: ???
Where would be a good place, ideally NW Mendip to give them a good wow-factor follow-up but without doing anything that is too much, or where their lack of wet-kit and climbing experience would be an issue.
Any sensible suggestions gratefuly received.
A sensible suggestion here and a shock to many other cavers.... Rowberrow Cavern in middle of nowhere and it's easy and explain how stone age people lived there, then walk (which is a nice area) down to Reads Cavern and looki n main chamber for markings on walls and creatures as well.
They will enjoy that more then trying to wow them with biggest chamber in country as they all all are novices !
