Family Caving Trips

Experience Challenge and Excitement side by side with your family and loved ones, watch as your children show their bravery and excitement in a new world. We all understand the need for young people to be challenged in their formative years, to be able to put aside fears as they grow into young adults, caving is the perfect challenge for the family, enabling father and daughter, mother and son to stand side by side and commit to challenges together. And leave with the evidence to show to others, in my mind the experience talks for itself.

“Myself and my two children did a one day intro to caving with Gocave.com in the Yorkshire Dales, visiting the Long Churn system.

It was the most enjoyable and physically challenging day. We finished the day with smiles (despite the appalling weather) and an incredible sense of achievement.

We came to the day with an appetite based on show-cave visits, needless to this was a very different experience, in the most positive way. The Long Churn system was an excellent mix of atmosphere, geology and challenge for us novices, all of this made so much more meaningful by our excellent guide (Iain) whose enthusiasm and positiveness led us around even the more taxing obstacles with good humour and no serious event. This was furthered by his obvious passion and general knowledge of his subject. The day became so much more than mere physical activity…… geology lessons, archeological discovery and so on. All of this combined to make one incredible day, one that this family will not forget for a very long time, thank you Iain/Gocave.com.

We will definitely be back, we are already considering what (and where) our next adventure might be; we really hope that we will be able work with Iain again.
