Easter Tour 2017 - Destination Budapest - 28th March-4th April
Hi all, ICCC goes caving abroad this Easter, in the lovely Hungarian hills of Bükk and Aggtelek. We are looking at taking around 8 cavers for a full week of caving and hiking. This email will cover: * -the dates, duration and location of the Tour* * -the logistics* * -an overview of the programme* * -how much it will cost* * -how to apply* Location of the caving region (Bükk mountains). *Dates:* The Easter Tour takes place after the end of the Spring term, and this year will start on* Tuesday 28th March and end on Tuesday 4th April*. The dates of departure and arrival may fluctuate by one or two days depending on the flight availability, but we will stay seven nights, with six full days on site. *Logistics:* We will fly out from one of the London airports to Budapest in the morning of the first day. On site, we will hire two 4-5person cars and drive over to the caving area, a 2h drive away. We will buy the week's worth of food and settle down at the accomodation. We will then drive back to Budapest on the last day, and fly back in the evening. *Overview of the programme:* We will have 6 full days on site, of which we'll spend around 4 caving, the others being for resting, sight-seeing in tourist caves, or hiking around in the lovely hills. caving days will generally consist of an early start to drive over to one of the caving areas (1h drive in places), and a 6-7h caving trip. There will be scope for both technical SRT trips and more horizontal caves. We are acquiring permits for some of those which have stunning formations and there will be at least one joint trip with a local caving group. *How much it will cost:* We aim to keep the cost between £250-£300 for a full week abroad. This includes the flights (~£100pp), food (£50pp), accommodation(£50pp) and car hire+ fuel (£100pp). *How to apply:* please email us <ic.caving@gmail.com> to apply, we will then ask you to *pay a non-refundable deposit of £150* to cover flight bookings and car hirings. After the tour we'll work out what remains to be paid (food and fuel mainly). *Deadline for deposits: 14th January 2017* Yours to the terminal sump, Tanguy -- Imperial College Caving Club <http://union.ic.ac.uk/rcc/caving>
