Caving & Club Trips
Caves are a challenging and delicate environment that deserves to be respected and preserved. Its best to explore them with people who know them. But there are some amazing adventures to be had. The club runs regular club trips throughout the year to both visit the caves and practice the more advance rope techniques needed for vertical caves. Drop us an email and we will tell you whats coming up - info@htg.org.nz
Caving Adventure Adventures
Caving is fun at lots of levels its not all about squeezing through small spaces. The club runs trips for members at all levels from an introduction to caving where you are underground for just a few hours. Through to members challenging themselves on expeditions to the South Island involving ropes and camping underground. Caving is a real team sport, which HTG really promotes, its more fun in a group anyway.If you are up for the challenge there is plenty of technical skills to learn. But if you are just out for a weekend adventure and to take some pictures HTG trips offer that to.
The Hamilton Tomo Group is an affiliated club of the New Zealand Speleological Society for more information on caving nationally go to caves.org.nz which is the NZSS's website
