Cave exploring or caving
... an adventure travel holiday
Interest in caving is growing worldwide... and caving as a sport is growing
partially due to the continuing concern for health, fitness and the environment
as well as a growing demand for outdoor experiences with an educational purpose.
Perhaps the greatest motivation of a caver is the thrill of original discovery.
You could go for a full adventure travel holiday and explore cave systems that
require yo to crawl through small tunnels, abseil down vertical shafts or maybe
even dive under a subterranean ocean. No matter what, you're guaranteed to
be blown away by the unusual terrain you'll find under the earth's surface.
The remotest corners of the globe have been observed by satellite technology,
yet there is no alternative to personal investigation of caves. Most cavers
are drawn by the potential for discovering new caves or finding new extensions
to known caves, but some simply enjoy the solitude and beauty of the underground
wilderness. Others enjoy the camaraderie of caving which can be a rewarding
group activity as the physical and technical challenges can demand concentrated
teamwork.
