3rd week 10-12 May – South Wales—SWCC.
The SWCC hut is next to Ogof Ffynnon Ddu, the deepest cave in the UK and
offers a range of trips suitable for all. If weather agrees we are planning to
do a through trip, from Top entrance to Cwm Dwr. The trips might be more
challenging for novices. Potentially for more experienced cavers we can get a
Dan yr Ogof permit.

4th week 17-19 May – Northern Dales – BPF
The Yorkshire/Lancashire/Cumbria borders is an area that offers some
remarkable caves - many of them are deep and really require some
training/experience of SRT techniques. Bull Pot Farm is at a perfect
location--within walking distance to many popular caves. As a trip in TT, we
will be going for more challenging caves so it is recommended to have joined at
least one caving trip and to join at least one SRT training session before
coming to this trip.

6th week 31 May-2 June – Peak district – TSG
The Peak District has a lot of fun SRT trips in some spectacular vertical
caves e.g. Titan, plus a few of the mines have an engine shaft with pretty
straight forward SRT.
