  • Small backpack; large bags can snag.

Optional Gear

  • Compact headlamp; keep beams low.
  • Lightweight gloves for cool, damp rails.

Behavior

  • Keep voices low; sound carries.
  • Watch footing; handrails help.
  • Respect restricted areas.

Group Awareness

  • Keep to one side on bridges; follow guide cues.

Quick tip: A compact headlamp gives you control without disturbing others.

Dress to move safely and preserve the underground environment.
