Title: Proposed Mendips weekend!! 3rd - 5th October
Post by: Tony Salusbury on Sep 19, 2014, 02:17 PM
As discussed in the Glan last night, is anyone else available for a proposed weekend trip to the Mendips staying at the Wessex Caving Hut (subject to availability - Exeter Uni have 20 booked in on the Fri & Sat so I think there should still be plenty of room)

Plan is leave Friday teatime to arrive Wessex Caving Hut around 8pm ish, and do Swildon's Hole on the Saturday, and Fairy Cave Quarry Cave on the Sunday before returning home Sunday teatime.

Cost of staying at the Wessex is still £6 per night.

The suggested caves are non-SRT so suitable for all, and is a superb caving weekend away.

So any takers?

GOING:

Tony
Vikki
Mike L
Boydy
Tom
Mike (Bulldoggy)
Mad Dan :D :D :D
Crazy John


Anymore before we make a hut booking? Great trip plus can practice your SRT on the SRT tower at the caving hut.

If not enough takers (perhaps its to soon following Hidden Earth weekend),

Is the following weekend (10th - 12th October) any better for people?

What's plan for travel arrangements then?

I am working till 4.45 on Friday (can't get any earlier finish), Me, Vikki, Mike (bulldoggy) and Dan can go in Vikki's car.

What is plan for Boydy, Tom and Crazy?

I've booked hut for 8 of us, but can add more if required.

Are any others still interested in coming? Come on Doug!!!!

Whoever arrives first will need to pick the hut key up from Fountain Cottage in Priddy (opposite Priddy Green) and leave £20 deposit.
