Event Description

Caving 26th October

I have been asked about organising a caving trip so...here goes!

I have 5 places available for a novice caving trip either in P8 Derbyshire or various caves on Birkwith Moor in Yorkshire. I have wet weather alternatives for both areas.

I will provide ropes and ladders but you will need to provide your own harness and cows tails (two carabiners and 2 metres of dynamic rope). You can use you'r own climbing helmet and head torch or hire a caving helmet and lamp from either Inglesport (Yorkshire) or Hitch and Hike (Derbyshire) around £3:00 per day

Clothing required is fleece type undergarments and a boiler suit or other old outer clothing, wellington boots (if you don't have any let me know I have some) . Please bring sufficient food and water change of clothes and towel.

I know that sometimes the idea of subterranean exploration can be unnerving so here is a little about your guide.

I hold a BCA level 2 cave leader certificate including Mines and SRT extension. I have served 7 years as a core team member of Derbyshire Cave Rescue Organisation and I have held a Mountain Rescue casualty care certificate for 6 years. I am a current member of the Peak District Instructed Caving Association (PICA). I have also completed SPA training.

My wife also DCRO and MRT Cascare holder will be accompanying the trip as a second.

I have 5 seats available in my Land Rover if required at fuel cost.

Further information will be emailed to those interested in attending.

Cheers

Ron
