AGOS offers you a caving discovery outing, to the Caranques cave, in the Gorges du Loup. This trip is accessible to anyone who is a bit sporty: a fairly steep approach walk of ~20 minutes, then an easy path inside the cave.
Some photos of this cave (AGOS group) here: Caranques 2004 Jan.
If you want to participate you can register before June 20th on the framadate of the outing, remembering to write down your email address so that we can contact you.
Organization:
Meeting at 10 a.m. in Opio, for recovery and testing of the equipment; carpool to the parking lot of the cave in Gourdon, and climb: we should be at the entrance a little before noon. Snack in the porch (bring your picnic!), then about 3 hours of visit to the cave, for a return to Opio around 5 p.m.
Price: Supervision by the AGOS caving section and the COV caving club is free (volunteers!). The club will only charge us a contribution to the costs, covering federal insurance coupon.
AGOS finances 60% of admissions for its “rights holders*”, but everyone is welcome, it will cost you respectively 12 euros for outsiders, and 5 euros for AGOS rights holders*.
