Thinking of heading up on Sunday for a walk and possibly going down one of the caverns.

Which is the best option, 6 adults all eraly 30’s

Cheers

I’m mid 30s, i’ve only been down Speedwell Cavern but enjoyed that (so did my kids and parents). There are a lot of steps down, then an underground boat ride (quite claustrophobic) to the end where you can get out and have a look in a cave, then the same back. Our guide was superb.
You can get a discounted ticket to do that and another at the same time but we didn’t bother.

Cheers

Ideally we want the one that scares the Mrs the most 😆

Tip the guide to leave her at the other end, that should do the job 😉

😀 Nice

Anyone else experienced the wonderment of the Castleton cave system?

You want to scare her? Obvious.

Titan, just outside Castleton. You need permission for this one though.

(MrAdamW is a caver)

Yes, I am aware of Titan, was thinking a more recreational visit on this occasion.

Make sure everyone watches “The Descent” before you go.

It’ll be more fun for everyone that way.

Speedwell is a nice trip, I’ve also done the Devil’s arse which was more fun

I’ve done the speedwell and Peak(devils arse) tours, the later is definitely superior!

Cheers all,

Indeed Perchy, top advice 😀

Checks in

I took the kids to Blue John in the week – enjoyed it far more than I expected to. They do say “involves some steps” on the notice right next to the “tickets non-refundable bit” – what they don’t tell you is that its 294 steps!

Not a pretty cave as such but worth the trip – you can walk up the old road if you want to make a round trip from Castleton.
