Next term
Here are Edvins suggestions:
26th-27th January: Derbyshire, TSG hut; possible caves include Titan if we can find leaders, Peak Cavern for a good Sunday trip, P8 and Oxlow for SRT practice.
Serena: I'd add nettle pot as a saturday/sunday trip, near oxlow. it has some lovely formations. (permit for both at a farm on the day). Re. the Titan trip an exhange as last year with JH would be nice and maybe we could also get white series or however it's called. (to piss off the people at the showcave :) )
9th-10th February: Yorkshire, Brackenbottom (or YSS); possible caves include Sell Gill and others (insert appropriate cave name here!)
Serena: History goes that Sell gill is boring (no direct experience here) and by that time we want to engage novice with more demanding trips. I've heard that Illusion is pretty and we could redo some of the caves that I booked for NY. Leck fell is better in this case because then it's closed in March-June: Lost John's and Notts 1 are supposed to be the best ones that need permit and the kingsdale area doesn't require advance booking like rowten, etc...) (am I talking bulls**t?)
23rd-24th February: South Wales, Whitewalls; Aggie and Daren for a miserable Saturday and Craig a Fynnon on Sunday.
Lucy: One small thing - whitewalls may not like us much after last yr (key loss). should be ok but just in case can anyone think of alternatives?
Serena: Dar-Yr-Ogof??? I guess we can get leaders through WSG or Lucy's dad.
28th-9th March: Yorkshire, Greenclose Hut; any Gaping Ghyll cave and many others.
Serena: plenty of stuff in the GG/allotment area...ah, for those of you that border into masochism, Becka has asked me to organise an Hammer Pot permit for herself and julian and I guess that they'll be willing to get more company :)
General comments
Toby: Any dates for next term, guys? I'm trying to plan when I'm available - at the moment, I'm planning to be away with CUHWC on all their trips, but I need to know when I'm available to lead SOC trips.
Lucy: On the 25th Nov I will book the dates, huts and caves suggested, with alterations proposed. If anyone doesn't like this list, say so before next saturday.
Thanks, Kathryn - quite a few clashes there, but I'll probably come to TSG and Wales (I can do Yorkshire caving anytime with SOC or RRCPC...) - TS
Umm yeah, just noticed we've managed to clash perfectly with almost all of the hillwalking trips. These are only suggested dates - nothing has been booked yet. Kathryn 11:48, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
