  Notes :

  When planning a trip down a known cave it is advisable to do as much research as possible to find out exactly what is in store. The two most valuable pieces of information are a tackle list and a map, a copy of which can be encased in "contact" plastic or a clear plastic bag and carried through the cave for ready reference.
  
  While estimates can be made of descent rates for "average" known caves, the actual rate will depend on the nature and state of rigging in the cave and the competence of the cavers involved. A pre-rigged cave could bring descent rates of 200 m to 300 m an hour while a vast amount of complex rigging or re-rigging could slow things down considerably. When researching information about a cave there is usually some indication as to trip durations.
