***Sounds like a good plan. Little Neath is probably a bit intimidating for novices (unless it's a drought) but Bridge cave nearby could be a good option. [Edvin]
 
−
***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]
+
** caves: Titan/JH (applied for key), other caves which can be arranged on the day
−
***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]]
