 Daren Cilau contains two main underground Camps: Hard Rock Cafe (HRC)
and the Restaurant at the End of the Universe (REU). Previously camping
has taken in "Big Chamber Nowhere Near The Entrance" and there
is a further camp is situated at the western flyover, but this is currently
disused.
HRC differs from the Restaurant at the End of the Universe (REU) in two
main respects:
- It is used on a reasonably frequent basis by the group of people who
maintain it, and
- with a few exceptions, everything is packed away after use.
The equipment and gear stored at the camps is relied upon by the regular
campers, who have meretriciously brought the essentials to the camps over
several years.
It is for these reasons that prefer that aspirant campers who are not
familiar with the way we do things at HRC join in on an organised camp,
and that anyone organising their own camp keeps the regular campers informed
of their plans.
If you are interested in coming on an organised camp, you can either
subscribe to the daren-announce Yahoo group mailing list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/daren-announce/ or contact one of the following people:
HRC can comfortably accommodate 10 to 12 people. Most camps start
on a Friday evening, and run through to Sunday or Monday. The main
objective is digging. Daren Cilau has stubbornly resisted major
extensions in recent years, but the mountain holds great potential
for new discoveries.
HRC is strategically placed as a rescue base and has been used
as such. If a serious injury occurred in the further reaches of
the cave, the camp could be in use for several days - or even longer.
If you are staying at camp, or just passing through, please find
a few moments to write in the log book
