Weekend Trip to Yorkshire !!! When: Friday 14/01/2022 at 17:00 to Sunday 16/01/2022 at 23:45 Where: Yorkshire Price: The trip is paid for in two parts, first a £17.00 deposit before the trip, and after the trip the transport cost is subsidised and split between all attendees (total capped at 45.00) Membership: you need membership to join weekend trips (£30.00) (membership lasts the entire year) SIGN UP: Please reply to this email if you would like to come! Please tell us your full name, whether you have a rail card and/or a car, what the earliest time is that you could leave on Friday, any dietary requirements, any medical conditions, and anything else you think we need to know. (Older members who have access to our accounts spreadsheet, please add your name there, no need to reply to this email.) This is a vertical SRT trip. This means that you must have learned all relevant rope skills at tree training. We will meet in stores on Tuesday (11/01) 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 in the winter though, if you happen to own thermals. Please only buy the trip fee once your spot on this trip has been confirmed. We aim to confirm spots by the end of this week and an email with more details will be sent out then. How the trip works: We will set off on Friday evening and return on Sunday evening. On Friday we will leave from outside Beit Halls. Because of covid (☹) we ask you to please show us a recent negative covid test before travelling (a photo of a lateral flow test is enough, but a PCR from Imperial is even better). We also strongly encourage all of our members to get their booster vaccine. We will stop at a supermarket on the way to buy all the food we need for the weekend and also for you to buy your own dinner/snacks for Friday. Except for Friday’s and Sunday’s dinner, we cook all of our food together which is included in the trip cost. Accommodation, transport and all equipment are also covered by the trip cost! On Saturday we will have a fairly long caving trip if you feel like it, but sometimes a few of us decide to have a nice day on the surface instead. On Sunday we will have a shorter caving trip before driving back to London. We usually get back around midnight. Because the union is overhauling its minibus fleet we will be using personal cars or hire vehicles. Our next trips dates are: Date Destination Details 28/01 – 30/01 Yorkshire Y3: SRT Required 11/02 – 13/02 Mendips M2: SRT Required 25/02 – 27/02 Yorkshire Y4: SRT Required 11/03 – 13/03 Yorkshire Y5: SRT Required Also: Pub every Tuesday (around 6pm at the union bar/568) and Cavers Go Climbing every Wednesday (3pm at RavensWall) Yours till I have recovered from excessive Christmas chocolate consumption, Ana ICCC President
