Year 13 OED are fully immersed in their caving unit at the moment. The crew have been training hard to develop their SRT skills and last Friday was the first opportunity to test them out underground. Greenlink Cave on Takaka Hill is part of a network of caves that all link together, including next weeks mission: Middle Earth cave. We descended through the marble as far as the first main pitch, or vertical shaft, called Watergate, which is about 10 meters deep. The students then descended to the bottom and after a quick explore we ascended to the surface again.
