Mendips Caving weekend

Some superb caving is to be had in the Mendips. We are currently looking for a trip leader to coordinate this. Speak to any member of committee if you are interested in attending a Mendips caving weekend. Accommodation in a club bunkhouse will be arranged.

Ireland Summer 2018

There has been some interest expressed by members around a possible trip to County Clare in Ireland for a week in the Summer. Croydon members have made several trips over the years to Ireland, usually staying around the area known as "The Burren, either camping or in a bunk-house.

It will be up to yourselves, the members, to decide if you want this to happen. If interested, speak to any member of the Committee and if there is enough interest we will see if we can get an official trip running and coordinate dates, transport and accommodation.

Be assured, Ireland has some excellent caving to offer. Often quite wet systems, both vertical and horizontal, but with enough choice to suit all abilities. Plenty of information in books or online as to what The Burren has to offer.
