Already caving?  Want to improve your skills and confidence?  Why not spend a day or two learning with one of the UK's most experienced cavers and instructors?   You can improve your navigation and hazard awareness while enjoying a quality classic caving trip or focus on those all important vertical skills....

Horizontal Skills
There's so much to learn and so many ways to make your caving safer and more successful.  What do those survey symbols mean? What's the best equipment to choose?  How can dangers be identified and reduced?  How did the caves form?  Why are passages the shapes they are?
Basic Ropework
Our advice is to get the basics right first, before attempting more complex systems like SRT.  Ropework training can be tailor-made to suit your needs or that of your group.  You can learn a lot on a one day course that will keep you safe through all your caving years whenever you come to rig a handline or belay a ladder pitch.  Call or email to discuss the training options.
SRT Training
Single Rope Techniques are the key to modern cave exploration because they enable vertical drops to be negotiated safely and quickly with a minimum of equipment. Adequate training is essential before using the system underground and we offer a complete range of training options    
Rigging
Learn how to rig quickly and safely. How to choose the best hardware, tie the right knots and keep things easy for the rest of the group. One or two day courses can be arranged - please call for details.
Rescue
Actually much more than rescue - this one day course includes a range of improvised techniques that can prevent emergencies arising, as well as instructing the rescue systems that you may need to employ. Vital subjects for the modern caver and an essential training day for the club planning an expedition.
