What’s on
Caving Meets
The club holds regular organised caving meets, offering a mix of caves and potholes with varying degrees of difficulty, from easier trips for novices to more technical and challenging outings for the more experienced. All members are encouraged to volunteer to co-ordinate a club trip. Pick a date and venue to suit yourself, we will then advertise it below and email all members about it. Please contact the Meets Sec with any offers and suggestions.
