Hiya Cavers, *tldr*; - Trip to Yorkshire 29th-31st November (£37) - Planned caves are Notts 1 & 2 - You need to come to tree training if you want to go on the trip - Email to ask for a place before buying the trip fee - Join our Facebook group It's time to think about Yorkshire! We'll be leaving on Friday 8th November and getting back late on the Sunday. *Tree Training* If you want to come on this trip, or any of our trips to Yorkshire or Derbyshire, you'll need to come along to tree training to learn how to use ropes in the caves! We'll be in Princes' Gardens on Wednesdays from 1 - 5 pm to teach you all you need to know. *Yorkshire* "North Yorkshire is the classic caving region in Britain for vertical caving, including probably the most famous cave entrance Gaping Gill a massive 110m shaft. The rugged beauty of the moors provides a stunning backdrop to an enormous choice of exciting potholes. A favourite with existing members for practising rope skills." *The Trip* The trip will cost £37 and this covers all accommodation, travel, equipment hire and food for the weekend! If you haven't already bought membership for the club, you'll also need to buy that on the union shop before you can purchase the trip fee. The trip fee will appear sometime before the trip, I'll send out another email when that occurs, please don't buy it until we have confirmed you have a place. We'll set off in one of the union minibuses after lectures on Friday and stop at a supermarket to buy food and booze for the weekend. The drive is long but there'll be bangin' tunes and good company to make the time fly. We'll be staying at the NPC caving hut (a cottage for cavers) in North Yorkshire. The caving cottages have bunk rooms, toilets, a kitchen and showers, as well as somewhere to dry your caving kit. This hut is a second home to many of us and we love it dearly. The cave on Saturday will be Notts 1! This is a classic Yorkshire cave with multiple routes down and opportunities to take a different route on the way out. Apparently its "well social" as you can hear the different groups. On Sunday we shall be going to Notts 2 which I am told is very fun and involves scaffolding; a "playground for adults". All trips do tend to Kingsdale however so there is chance you may end up at one of the many fantastic caves there.

Make sure you come to tree training on Wednesday as well so we know you've done all the SRT techniques. There are limited spaces so I recommend deciding if you're interested sooner rather than later! *Facebook Group* If you haven't signed up to our Facebook group, you may be missing info on social events etc. You can join the group here <https://www.facebook.com/groups/imperialcaving/?ref=group_header>.
