The sites featured in this podcast are on private property. As a general rule, access is permitted, but the utmost respect is expected, and entrance is at the visitor's risk. Entering the cave requires a high level of fitness and balance as well as a level of comfort in small, tight places. The inside of the cave is muddy, wet and slippery and the risk of injury is high, so enter at your own risk.
