UCET Trip Advisor

Howdy Doody,

Here are the details for our next Thursday night trip (there are two);

Belgrave Mine (Trip #1 SRT through Trip) (Trip #2 Adit Amble)
This week we are off to Belgrave mine to enter the top adit, abseil down to the bottom adit and emerge again from the middle adit.

For the non-SRTers, there will be the opportunity to explore both the top and middle adits (and see the glorious marble)

Meet Date : Thursday 3rd Nov 2022
Meet Time : 6:30pm â€" 6:45pm

I have a fair amount of experience, and I used to be an assistant cave instructor for Go Below in Cwmorthin and Rhiw Bach mine. No I am not currently on BCA, is that a requirement or can I come along? Also how can I go about becoming a full member?

You can certainly come along and Bca won't be required for this trip as it will be your first trip out with us this year so club insurance should cover you. Will discuss how to become a full member on Thursday or you could send a email to secretary@ucet.org.uk

Cheers Gaz
