Some lucky guinea pigs got to experience bonfire night in the Mendips. Some caving happened too.

For our second fresher trip of 2021, we joined forces with OUCC and enjoyed a wet Halloween weekend of caving and games at the SWCC.

For the first trip of the year, we stayed at the Croydon in Ystrafellte and ventured into Cwm Dwr, OFD I, and OFD II over a gloriously sunny weekend.

We will be starting our weekly tree training sessions from Wednesday (6th October) from 1 – 5pm on the green opposite Prince's Gardens. Just look for a bunch of people on ropes climbing trees! This is where we teach people the rope techniques needed for our later trips to the vertical caves of Yorkshire. This is also a good opportunity to say hi and ask questions about caving.

We also gather at the Union Bar/FiveSixEight most Tuesdays from 6pm. We'll usually have a caving helmet at our table to make us easier to find.

A classic Yorkshire weekend feat. Lost Johns before term starts.

The Scottish highlands gifted us with wonderful weather for a week of multi-sport activity. There was caving, hiking, cycling, and swimming, along with organ playing, midge dodging, seal spotting, and hair cutting with the longest pair of scissors known to humankind. Truly glorious.

Deprived of Migovec for the second year and trapped in the UK to avoid quarantine hotels, we searched for some way to emulate our beloved expo. Where could we find a farflung location, lots of rope dangling, and lovely mountains? The answer: spend a week caving in the Dales, then trundle north into the far reaches of Scotland.

We make the best of the CPC's "winch without a winch" Gaping Gill meet and visit the main chamber via many pre-rigged entrances.

Cavers new and not-so-new converged at a campsite in Llangattock to launch assaults on Agen Allwedd, Cwm Dwr & OFD 1, Eglwys Faen, and Craig a Ffynnon. It's always good to see everyone underground, but especially so after the year we've all had.

An excessively sunny weekend was spent in the Mendips featuring Burrington Combe, failed Swildons round trips and the cider barn.
