Hello cavers, *NEXT TRIP* *Derbyshire - 22nd to 24th November* Next weekend we'll be going to the Derbyshire, home of the UK's largest pitches. We'll be visiting Peak Cavern<http://peakcavern.co.uk/category/general/> but not as tourists in the show cave. As long as we turn up in our PVC (so we look legit) they let us continue far beyond where people are normally allowed. Also we'll be seeing a few other Uni clubs there as it the CHECC weekend (a big meet-up/party of uni caving clubs). We've got spaces so if you're interested in coming along, let me know. *Winter Tour* We'll be going back to Yorkshire on the 13th to 20th of December for 1 week of caving action. You can come for as much or little of it as you like. *Pub Meeting* Tuesday at 7 pm in the Union bar or the Eastside bar. Phone me on 07708410820 if you're trying to find us.

Trips and tree training.

Hey guys, *Tree Training CANCELLED* Tree training is cancelled today because its raining and generally quite grim out there. If you want to do some training before next trip, let me know and I can set something up another lunchtime. *Next Trip - Yorkshire 8/11/13* The next trip is completely full but don't worry, if you want to come caving we've still got one more trip this term. *Derbyshire 22/11/13* We'll be going to Derbyshire on the 22nd of November for the weekend. I'm now taking sign ups for this trip. This will be a mixed technique trip, on Saturday we'll be visiting the Oxlow and Maskhill caves which are vertical and we'll need to use our SRT skills to traverse them. On Sunday we'll be visiting Peak Cavern. The entrance part is a 'show cave' meaning that there's lights and tacky decorations. We'll be going past this tourist bit into the more interesting cave beyond. Peak is mostly horizontal, so no SRT required. *Christmas Curry 10/12/13* The caving club will be meeting up for our annual Christmas curry on Tuesday the 10th of December (in the evening). I haven't picked a venue yet but keep the date free! *Winter Tour 13/12/13 - 20/12/13* Also coming up is our winter tour! We stay for a whole week in Yorkshire meaning we can do far more challenging and adventurous trips than a normal weekend allows. Anyone is welcome to come, there's no need to come for all of it either. Let me know if you're interested.
