Cave Driving in Les Cinq Pilier, France

rojbarker · Jul 6, 2010

Got back Sunday night after a couple days cave driving in France. The place was intense. Glad I got my rocksliders on! Landy was great, didn't skip a beat. Did have a puncture this morning though but not bad considering!

Wow!! Just fkn wow! I bet the noise and dust in those tunnels was intense!

It was pretty noisy down there - sounded nasty when my car jumped out of diff lock a couple times. It was really cold as well - about 10-12 degrees. Even though it was blazing hot outside, you could see your breath in the air.

I loved it, once I got over the worries about breaking my car! haha

We went with the four wheel drive club www.fourwheeldriveclub.com

It was £150 for a car and two people, plus £10 each for passengers. Included ferry from dover, BBQ dinner, BBQ breakfast, BBQ lunch and camping on the site for the night. I'll try and find out who they had to arrange it through!

I didn't have my GPS running on the way but I know roughly where to go. It's out in the middle of nowhere though! We met up with a guide at a supermarket and he took us the rest of the way.

Someone's made a decent video of the caves (mine came out ****)

Paul D · Jul 7, 2010

Same here, be very interested in running a trip. Can you give us even just where they are near? Town etc .. I'll try to do the rest ..

I've realised I probably shouldn't have given out this location due to an agreement made with the owners, sorry guys!

WOW wouldn't mind betting there's a few of our Herts lot that would defo be interested!

the place is apparently an offroad P&P in an old quarry about 2hrs north of Calais.
