STAYING IN BELGIUM
Of course, as in any country, there are lot's of hotels, campings,
bunkhouses etc. I won't even try to give you an overview here.
CAVING GEAR
Although Belgium is a small country, we have over a dozen caving shops. Strangely
enough, most of them are located in the Northern Part of the country, where
there are no caves!
One of the biggest and best is:
DE BERGHUT
Plezantstraat 11, B-9220 HAMME
Tel.: +31 (0)52 47 85 22
Fax.:+31 (0)52 47 98 80
In this shop, the guy in charge (Rudi) is actually a very good and active
caver, so he knows what he's selling and what's it worth in a cave.
Some other shops are: KARIBOE (Leuven & Hasselt), ANDANTINO (Turnhout),
TREKKING (Aalst).
