[There are plenty of places still available on these tours on Sunday, I've just rung them to check. This sounds a great fun activity and is excellent value including all the equipment. I've been down Goatchurch Cavern and some of the other Burrington Caves about 25 years ago, albeit we didn't know the ritual marks were there then. It's a miracle they have survived as I remember the rocks down there being shiny with all the the thousands of bums and legs sliding along them - Andy B]
