Stinkhole 20 November

Hi everyone!

We are planning a trip to Stinkhole on the 20th of November with the purpose of showing two geologists the various interesting speleothems, minerals, and formations in the cave. As we are already quite a large group, there is very limited space left and it is only open to SRT proficient SEC members. The cave has a sinkhole entrance with a 20m descent and it will most likely be a long trip. Let me know if you are interested.

Update: There are no more spots open for visitors on this trip.

Dirk.

Cave and Braai 14 March 2021

 We are visiting Bolts cave for our Monthly caving trip

This is open to visitors, but we warned there is a fairly exposed climbdown, so not for the faint of heart.

We will be adding extra protection but it will probably still be a bit scary.


Meeting at 9 at Oaktree garage.

From there we will go have a quick look at our new chimny cave entrance, before heading off to Bolts cave

and upon return have a nice braai in the quarry, so bring your chop&dop
