Notes : For those who have been to Poacher’s before, we will be plunging to the depths of the lower series. The underground waterfall is likely to be dry and it may be possible to scramble upwards to the lost chambers of Drothinian. It may also be possible to get a rare opportunity to look down and through the U-Bend where the water normally plummets into the Abyssal mantle of the Earth.
On this trip, we will have an International guest with us :whistle:
You will get wet. Bring a change of clothes.
If you do fancy coming, please could you post to the UCET forum.
Thanks !
See you soon…..

Will do :)
See you all there :)
We will be splitting the group.lower series and terminal chamber
Would it be at possible to borrow a helmet/lamp also? I only have a rock climbing helmet available. I have a head torch, but it’s only on an elastic strap.. :blush:

I'll bring one :)
Hope to come along but is it possible to borrow a caving helmet/ lamp, suit size large and wellies size 9?
Hoping to join you. Following the theme, I haven’t got much kit either…! But I don’t mind being laughed at, and I can probably make do, if no one minds me using some non standard equipment.
Not sure if the club has spare wellies or oversuits, a pair of old hiking boots and some old waterproofs normally do the job.
Yeah :)
Old clothes will do.
Just remember to bring a change of clothes as you will get wet without a caving suit
try visiting charity shops for old gear and ebay for caving gear, i have been advertising caving equipment for a month and there has been no takers from club members your caving gear is personal to you and you must dig in your pocket, there should be no reason that you have not obtained you SRT kit after your spell of training, if you need it then buy it, leaders have enough to do getting the ropes together for the trip and should not be running around looking for kit
for other people,hardened caver.
