So everyone in the club can see underground we need lights. The old club lights weren't great and had to be replaced with new shiny LED. You can see photos of the new lights here:

Notts 2

By -
09/07/20, Caleb, Lisa and Todd After almost three months, which is, in my opinion, far too long to be stuck in the hell of the surface world, Lisa, Caleb and I decided it was tie to return to our spiritual home of the dark wet underground. Given circumstances, we decided Notts 2 would be the best bet, and decided to meet on a Wednesday. I arrived early, having dropped my dad off to go for a long walk, and headed up to Leck fell to wait for the other two. Eventually they arrived, and we quickly got changed, eager to go caving. I was the first down the entrance climb, followed by Caleb. I was like a child again, far too excited to be there. We wormed our way through the entrance series to the streamway, finding it slightly high, but nothing to worry about. We decided downstream was our best first bet, and headed on, stopping to say how glad we were that we had cancelled the trip a week earlier. The flood debris was quite high on the walls. We made our way down the short climb into the ...

Weekend trip OFD by Kim

5th - 7th October 2018 This was my first caving weekend and I can say I discovered a lot of things I like about caving. I loved the traversing and climbing parts and I also really liked the squeezing. The stream was also great, but I could be biased because of Lisa's and Issam's unnatural desire to jump and splash in ice cold water. But I think the most important thing I discovered about caving is the fact that cavers are very weird people. Except for the music, the drive to the hut was quite normal. But the moment we got into the hut, cavers see every little hole as an opportunity. I had never seen how furniture could be used in so many different ways. Cavers have a great desire for squeezing themselves through small holes, this became even more clear when they found a squeezing machine. Also, when the amount of alcohol in a caver becomes high, the more they feel they are able to get through it and the more they get stuck. The first 10 minutes I watched this spectacl...

Trip to Yorkshire - 16th-18th September

As none of us felt we had done enough caving over the summer and we were all missing yorkshire Mike, David and I decided to head to Bull Pot Farm over the weekend. No-one else was booked in at the Farm so it was eerily quiet on the Friday night - quite a change from the usual party atmosphere! Our initial plan for the Saturday was to go in Top Sink and then see how far we got before we bailed, but that was scuppered by the amount of rain we got overnight. As there are some low, wet crawls to start with in Top it can't really be attempted in conditions like this: Anyway, I'm getting ahead of myself... On Friday night we realised that we had left half of our food back in Manchester, whilst remembering to bring breakfast and alcohol. The next morning David and I headed back down to Kirkby Lonsdale to pick up food for that evening, passing Matt halfway down the lane who had come to join us caving that day. Having managed to get down and back without flooding the car we settled...
