Hello Cavers!
With over half the trips now done, its time to start thinking about Winter Tour!
We will be going to *Yorkshire for **(almost)** a week of caving!*
This email contains all the information that I remembered you need to know.
*Overview (you still need to read the email)* - Will take place 15th - 21st December. - You don't have to attend the whole thing. - SRT required. - Very low cost. - E-mail to sign up.
*Winter Tour*
A great way to practice your SRT in the best vertical caves the UK has to offer! 5-6 possible trips including the classics such as Notts Pot and Gaping Gill and plenty more!! Its a great opportunity to put your advanced tree training to practice, and even learn to navigate your way through a cave. Some of you (us) are even ready to start learning to rig!
*Logistics*
We will be staying at the NPC's Greenclose House in *North Yorkshire*. If you haven't been then you'll be glad to know that there is a great kitchen, wood fire, warm showers, cozy bunk rooms, and a great drying room so you aren't caving in wet gear all week!
We will drive up on the *15th December*, aiming to leave as early as possible (12:00) but if you have lectures until the late evening the let us know and we can work something out!. The Drive back will then happen on the evening of *21st December* to give everyone ample time to get back home for Christmas!
*Transport*
*Minibus *- There will be *12 spaces* in the 15 seater minibus, the rest of the space 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 you own.*
*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) thermal top and a buff. Chat to us on a Tuesday or email here for some more advice on those.
*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 the please reply to this email ASAP. 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.
Kind Regards,
