Caving

Idris is running a scout caving badge course for those that came on the SSGMG Caving w/e in Littledale - he felt bad that you didn't get to do any caving! It will be on the w/e of 13-15 January in S Wales and he has estimated the cost as £45, but we do transport cheaper so should be less than this if we plan it right! He has given first option to Boreatton (because we made up most of the Littledale camp) and we aim to do Porth Yr Ogof, Bridge Cave, and Ogof Fynnan Dhu (OFD) top sequence - this is my favourate cave - its great! Google it! Here's a you tube of part of the cave, or check out

The w/e will get scouts their caver badge but there is an explorers caver badge too! (Badges are great!) You have to do a bit more but Idris will arrange the opportunity to complete the full explorer caver syllabus soon after if you come on this one. Let me know that you want to come asap as he is holding places reserved for us!
