Winter Tour!
by Imperial College Caving Club 11 Dec '19

11 Dec '19

Hi humans, We are rapidly approaching Winter Tour! *Overview* - From 13th - 20th December - You don't have to attend the whole thing - SRT knowledge required - Very good value for money - E-mail to sign up *What is it?* Winter tour is a week spent caving in the Yorkshire Dales.This is a great way to practice your SRT in the best vertical caves the UK has to offer. There'll be 5-6 possible trips including the classic Gaping Gill which features the highest unbroken waterfall in the UK and a massive main chamber - a real must see! The tour is a great opportunity to put your advanced tree training to practice, and even learn to navigate your way through a cave. You may even be honoured by the gift of a bag of wet rope to drag through the cave! *Logistics* We will be staying at the Northern Pennine Club's Greenclose Cottage in North Yorkshire. If you haven't been then you'll be glad to know that there's a great kitchen, wood fire, warm showers, cosy bunk rooms, and a great drying room so you aren't caving in wet gear all week! We'll drive up on Friday 13th December. The bus will be driving back sometime (~afternoon) on the 20th December so you can hopefully all get back home in time for Christmas! *Transport* *Minibus* - There will be 12 spaces in the 15 seater minibus, the rest of the space is used for all the rope, food and caving gear. Please get in touch if you would like a space there or back. *Train* - The closest train station is Clapham, North Yorkshire. The station is about 30 minutes walk away but if you arrive in the evening or early morning we can arrange to pick you up. Train expenses are your own. It is likely worth checking with us if anyone is driving on the same days as you as cheaper trains may be possible. *Kit* You will need to bring a sleeping bag, kit will be packed the Tuesday before hand. Some things that come in handy will be some hiking boots, a synthetic (non-cotton) set of thermals/just a top and a buff (highly useful especially for long hair) or balaclava. Uniqlo Heattech thermals have a good reputation in the club - there's a Uniqlo on High Street Ken where you can get a thermal top for ~£15. Chat to us in the bar on a Tuesday or email here for some more advice on what to buy. *Cost* Trip fee's are worked out per person, but the minibus costs will be split equally because we need it to bring all the gear to Yorkshire that everyone will be using. Previously the trip has cost £90-£110 for the full week and £50-£60 for half a week *Sign Up* If you want to sign up then please reply to this email. Let me know your travel arrangements and dates you plan on attending. Also please let me know your phone number so we can contact you.
