OUCC is active in three sorts of caving:
Introductory trips for people who’ve never been caving before. These are easy trips to give you a taste of what caving is about.
Sport caving trips down well-known systems, some easy, some harder, just for the fun and challenge of it, and to improve techniques. These take place on about every second weekend in term, or more often if there is demand. (See for example lots of reports in “DTT”, the old club newsletter: maybe these to start with)
Exploratory caving – finding places that quite literally no-one has ever been to before, and exploring and mapping new cave passage. OUCC cavers have been pretty successful in exploration in the UK (especially in Wales) and on expeditions overseas.
It’s possible to move from being a complete novice in October to being able to enjoy and take active part in our overseas expedition in July. Or you can take it a bit more easily. Either way, OUCC will help you build up your skills while enjoying the pleasures of caving in Mendip, Wales, and the Derbyshire and Yorkshire Dales.
