Reply quickly to make sure you get a place! If you can drive the Union Minibuses you will get £6 off your ticket and you will be guaranteed a place on the trip so please let us know. You will also get fairly shameless favouritism if you are eligible to drive the buses in the future (over 21 and had a UK drivers licence for 2 years). You do not need any equipment of your own, we will provide everything you could possibly need in a cave. *Please only buy the trip fee once your spot on this trip has been confirmed*. We aim to confirm spots by the end of next week and an email with more details will be sent out then. *How the trip works* We will set off in the minibus on Friday evening around 17:30 from outside Beit Halls and return there on Sunday evening around 23:30. We will stop at a supermarket somewhere on the way to buy all the food we need for the weekend and also for you to buy Friday's dinner as well as snacks or drinks. Saturday’s and Sunday’s meals will be cooked as a group at the hut, and the cost is included in the trip cost. Accommodation, transport and all equipment are also covered by the trip cost. On Saturday we'll usually wake up around 8:30, cook breakfast and plan our trips in an open discussion while we eat. We can have fairly long caving trips on Saturdays for those who want it, but sometimes a few of us decide to have a nice day on the surface instead. We'll aim to get underground right after midday, lest we anger the caving gods. Trips can range from 4 to 8 hours, depending on the cave chosen and how people are feeling. Sunday will run much the same, only trips will be shorter since we need to drive back to London in the evening as well. We'll be staying at the NPC <http://northernpennineclub.org.uk/cottage/> cottage in Yorkshire. *Upcoming trips* *Date Destination Details* 24 – 31/4 France Easter Tour term 3, date tbc Yorkshire Y6: SRT required term 3, date tbc Yorkshire Y7: SRT required, first aid training weekend Yours til my knees recover from the Marilyn crawl, Ellie ICCC President ps.
