That soft cooler with blue ice it should be fine. During the day store it in the shade if you can. You could even store a sandwich and drinks on the way there. Search Amazon for blue ice freezer...

I recommend the Mendips with an organised group. Could do a morning session in the dry Goatchurch Cavern and an afternoon session in the wet but superb Swildon's Hole. Around there there's loads ...
