Hi all,

Apologies if you have received this email twice, and apologies to everyone else that this is a day later than usual:

Yorkshire has the best caves in the UK, can’t sell the trip any better than that!

When: Friday 17/02/2023 at 17:00 to Sunday 19/02/2023 at 23:45

Where: Yorkshire Dales National Park

Membership: you need membership to join weekend trips (£30.00) (membership lasts the entire year)

Price:  Capped at £45. As usual, if its your first time caving with us, your membership fee will be subtracted from your trip price. Please only buy the trip fee once your spot on this trip has been confirmed. We aim to confirm spots late this week / early next week and an email with more details will be sent out then. 

This trip requires ‘single rope technique’ (SRT) – you must have completed all of the techniques at tree training before the trip. Tree training is being run this term from this week onwards, so you’re welcome to learn the skills there. If you haven’t learnt all of the skills yet but plan to before the trip you can still sign up but be aware that your spot will be revoked if you do not learn all the skills in time. It usually takes two sessions to learn all the skills.

Sign up: Please reply to this email if you are interested in coming. Please tell us your full name, any dietary requirements, any medical conditions.

Leaders who have access to our spreadsheet, please add your name there.

 

We will meet in stores on Tuesday (14/02) at 17:00 to pack kit. You do not need any equipment of your own, we will provide everything you could possibly need in a cave. A thermal base layer is beneficial on particularly cold weekends, if you happen to own thermals. Please also remember a sleeping bag for the hut – if you don’t have one, let us know before we leave and we can lend you one. We’ll be staying at the NPC.

Future trips this term are:

03-05/03/23 North Wales* - Imperial’s hut in Snowdonia

17-19/03/23 Yorkshire 3 – NPC

 

*Members must have come on at least one SRT trip before coming on this trip.

 

We’re at the pub every Tuesday as usual, and there are plenty more socials planned this term.

Yours till King Pot is bounced the final time,

Matti Mitropoulos
