Cave Stream Adventure! Epic Caving at Castle Hill 🏔️ | New Zealand 🇳🇿

Описание: Cave Stream | Castle Hill New Zealand

My first 100% Go-Pro film 🤣...I ain't taking my good stuff in there!

Another bucket list trip! We were hanging out until the kids were just big enough. I’ve been through a dozen times with Scouts and school students over the years so it was really special to finally be able to take my own children (& Nana) on this unique adventure.

With any caving adventure, especially trips that involve water, it’s critical to be prepared. A thermal layer + wetsuits are essential, along with torches (+ spare torches & lots of batteries), first-aid kit & survival blankets. Helmets aren’t essential but recommended for safe exploration of all the wee side tunnels. We took a thermos for half-time comfort and I always take a rope & carabiners. These can be useful with kids (& adventure granny) when the flow is higher than normal, to assist with the 3 mini waterfalls they need to scale on the way through.

DO NOT ENTER if it has been raining 🌧 ALWAYS tell someone where you are going and what time you're due out.

My rule is not to go in if there’s been rain within 48 hours of the planned trip. The cave WILL flood and flood very quickly which can be deadly. Although the weather had been clear for us, a touch of snow melt in the mountains ensured a slightly enhanced adventure!

Enjoy! If you have any questions about this adventure, especially any tips for getting kids through - feel free to reach out in the comments 🤙
