After the BBQ and excitement of England footy match on Sat eve, there was little enthusiasm for the walk up Whernside in the heat for the Greensett ‘picnic’ cave on Sun morning so plan B was Short Drop and Gavel. Matt kindly offered to rig the Gavel entrance so that the rest of the team could do Short Drop as a pull through and then continue down Gavel to the squeezes and pretties of Glasfurd’s chamber. A great trip, lots of varied caving, amazing pretties and good company. 

Team Short Drop: Dave, Ros, Gwyneth, Rachel, Lucas, Lukasz, Stu and Sharon.
Team Gavel: Matt!
Thanks for a great trip everyone

About

There are many club organised caving weekends, with a mixture of easy and difficult caving.  Over the past few years we have given lots of people the opportunity to experience caving with our "Try Caving" events.  These are quite popular and quite a few people have subsequently joined the club. We have YSS members caving most weekends so it is easy for new cavers to tag onto the easier caving trips and find people to help with more training.
