No fast descent just a nice controlled descent,in fact I thought it was no differant to a 10mm rope,9 mm Rope should pose you no problems,and it is far better than my mums 5mm washing line we used back in 1968B)

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.
