***Though Bridge cave is very short and hardly worth getting changed for - how about Porth yr Ogof (not that I have ever been there).  Also note that noone who had their first trip in OFD in the last two years is still with the club.  Bela, Laurence, Jess, Maddy, Ben and Tom all had their first trip with the club in Swildons - is this telling us something?  As an alternative, could we have a Peaks meet and do P8 followed by Giants on the sunday (for people who liked P8 and are keen) or Carlswark (as an easier option)? (sorry, I'm just biased against OFD because I don't like traversing... or getting lost) [[User:Kathryn|Kathryn]]

***Bar+'non-novicey alternative' worked really well last year - but maybe we should avoid the entrances  that we have for the 60th do (Dihedral, Flood, Stream)? Brackenbottom is good as it has an SRT training rig.[Edvin]
 
−
***I think Ireby for novices might be a bit long for a sunday trip, though I agree that its a great cave! How about staying at Greenclose rather than Brackenbottom and getting some Easegill permits - there are some great trips that don't require any/much SRT, and greenclose is good for Gaping Ghyll too (which the farm isn't).  Alternatively if we do stay at Brackenbottom how about a Little Hull permit - I haven't been there but I remember someone (Martin?) saying it was ok for competent novices?

*** I'd probably vote for this option, as two Yorkshire trips and then New year in Yorkshire (assuming that happens) might be a bit much! Alternatively, how about Whitewalls?  We don't have to go somewhere miserable.  We could get a Craig permit which is nice and easy and impressive and have Aggy as a fallback in case of rain - we wouldn't have to do a long trip in there. Nant Rhin is also nice as a sunday trip. [[User:Kathryn|Kathryn]]

Proposal for Mich Term

The squash is on Fri 9th October.

After pub discussion, we came to this plan (more or less?):

-> One extra one day meet to Peaks would be the ideal solution to the high number of novices we experienced in the last couple of years.

  • First meet (17/18 October) - Mendip Hills - one day meet
    • Swildon's Hole, MNRC (or Wessex)
  • Second meet (24/25 October) - Peak District - one day meet
    • Peak cavern or P8 or Giants, Orpheus
  • Third meet (30 Oct/01 Nov) - Yorkshire Dales - weekend meet
    • Sell Gill and other shortish caves which require no permit, Pool Sink? (just in case we get competent novices who want to try out their SRT skills), Greenclose?
  • Burn's night at the Farm (6/8 November) (I'm investigating this)
  • Fouth meet (13/15 November) - South Wales - weekend meet
    • OFD I & II, Little Neath if very dry, SWCC
    • or Craig, Porth Yr Ogof, Nant Rhin, Whitewalls
  • Fifth meet (27/29 November) - weekend meet
    • Lost Johns (Can we watch people on the Centipede and the Dome rebelays? How tight are Dome and Cathedral deviations?), Easegill (Lancs to WR traverse anyone?), Bull Pot Farm

Caves I want to visit, are not novicey and require permits: Notts, Notts II, Washfold, Marble Steps, Gingling, Newby Moss, Little Hull... (Crescent Pot as well, but I'm not allowed to say it aloud)
