Wonderfontein Trip 12th of April 2025

 Hi all,

There is a visitor friendly trip to Wonderfontein on the 12th of April.

Date: 2025-04-12 Saturday
Time: 8h00 to leave at 8h15

Area: Carltonville.

Getting to the cave:
A 2 minute drive back up the tar road, then a 2 or 3 km drive along a dirt track - high ground clearance is recommended.

Meet leader: Tucker

Cost: R100 per person for visitors

Type: Visitor friendly - but you must be able to swim!

Gear:
Normal caving gear.
No SRT required.
There is a lot of swimming throughout this cave (swimming is not optional) - you will get wet and stay wet for a long time!
Braai stuff for post caving.

Trip info:
Will update more info after the weekend - but typically this is 4 or 5 hour trip, with some climbing at the start, leading into some squeezes (nothing hectic).
This is a big labyrinth - don't get lost! Many of the passages are totally flooded or partially flooded, but they are the most fun to do.
Braai after the trip - bring your own food, drinks and chairs.
