The venues we use will be weather dependant but we would ideally be looking at spending time in Giants Hole or Bagshawe cavern. two ideal introductory venues for beginners. Places are restricted to 6 persons on each day so please book well in advance, as this enables us to to not only reserve your place, but also ensure we have the right clothing and equipment to fit you.
The cost for the day is £50-00 per person, all equipment will be provided as usual with refreshments available at the start and end of the day.
We hope to be running a further weekends through out the year with the next in November, this time in the the Yorkshire Dales, then a series of mining trips in the Northern pennines around the Nent Head and Alston area, in December.
