Steve went Caving for Nature!
“Thanks again for a super experience on the Caving for Nature day out. I had never tried caving before and this little taster was really quite exciting but not too challenging for an old (72 year) goat like me. I was very surprised how few people had signed up. Their loss I say! If anyone wants to get an idea of what caving is about, this is an ideal way to get your toes in the water (literally) surrounded by a willing and competent team of guides.”
Steve Hodgkinson, Caving for Nature 2024
