For a change and a first for me we went and had a ferrett around in King Mine in Matlock. Lots of crawling but well worth it and lots to look at, several round trips to do if you fancy them. Really worth an evening trip ;)
Trip time 2hrs

Yo Nigel, next time you have a free evening lets do it then ;)
It's in the same quarry as Knowles Mine which we took you in, in 2010. They were mining lead and there are a few artefacts :)

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.
