Metropolitan Speleological Society

Are you ready for adventure? Look no further than the Metropolitan Speleological Society (MSS), a sports club based in Sydney that is dedicated to exploring the great outdoors. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or new to the world of outdoor exploration, MSS welcomes everyone with open arms.

MSS was formed with a primary focus on caving, but over the years, the club has expanded its range of activities. Members now have the opportunity to participate in a broad range of outdoor pursuits, including canyoning, abseiling, bushwalking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and more. The club even organises social activities where you can meet new friends and enjoy the camaraderie that comes with shared experiences.

Caving is at the heart of MSS, and the club prides itself on its extensive knowledge of some of the best caving areas in New South Wales. Members have the opportunity to explore underground passages, learn vertical caving techniques, and gain firsthand experience in cave surveying and photography. Most of the caving trips occur during the winter, allowing members to embrace the allure of canyoning during the summer months.

Joining MSS is a fantastic way to develop new skills and explore the great outdoors. The club provides a gear list for new members, ensuring that you have everything you need to get started. There is also club equipment available for sharing, and members are always willing to offer advice and guidance on purchasing your own gear.

Trips with MSS are usually two-day adventures, with camping set up beside the car, known as “car camping. ” This type of camping allows members to bring along those little luxuries that make the experience even more enjoyable. Some caving camp sites even offer hot showers, adding a touch of comfort to your outdoor journey.

If you're ready to embark on thrilling adventures and create lifelong memories, MSS is the club for you. Check out the upcoming adventures on the club's calendar and be sure to join the MSS Facebook Group for regular updates and connexions with fellow adventurers.
