As it was such a stunning sunny day we opted for Alum as we know the views would be spectacular.
Went in middle entrance, down dolly tubs and continued to the bottom (for once we had enough rope, so first time ive been to the sump).
Back out - met thousands of kids going up and down dolly tubs, headed out Diccan entrance, back in middle and climbed out Dr Banisiters. Discovered a fun game - once you have climbed the chute, lie down creating a dam, let the water build up, then release, and enjoy watching Nigel getting washed away. :laugh:

Time - a good few hours

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.
