Interesting but very challenging

4.00Although it was a great experience to see these archeological digs and learn about the facts of early civilisation, we would have liked to have more information on what was required. Asking for a level of fitness does not include the requirement to perform abseiling kinds of activities and even more types of climbing requirements to get to some of the sites Both of us are over 70, I am 77 and we are fairly fit, however we declined to do the last 2 sites which required almost extreme levels of fitness , ie pulling oneself up by a rope and the dropping over the other side. This would be suitable for mountain climbers and more clearly explained. As it is one of the sites required us to squeeze through a very narrow opening and then crawl on all fours.
Fascinating discovery

5.00To understand how the ancient people lived is fascinating. Our group may even set a record as the oldest folk (73 year old) who joueneyed the caves.
