One of the attractions of caving, potholing and exploration of abandoned mines is its adventurous nature. It is a dangerous sport and anyone intending to go underground should be well-equipped and in a party of which at least one member should be an experienced caver.

   It is therefore important that beginners who seek to go caving are aware of and accept the element of risk and take responsibility for their own actions.
