Welcome to York University Cave and Pothole club.

Exploring caves all over the world since 1981.

If you want to experience places few people get to see, wander in caverns six times the size of York Minster and abseil down to 300 metres underground, then come and see US! YUCPC is an ever-growing group of friendly cavers who meet every Tuesday & Thursday in the University Sports Hall at 8:00pm. We go caving every weekend, in the Yorkshire Dales, Peak District and sometimes further a field such as Wales and the Mendips. You don’t need to worry about gear as we have all the equipment and clothing you need... read more

Boggle Hole Cave

After 3 days of cover shifts at the YHA, the tide was finally low enough when I finished my shift to have a nice walk on the beach and wander into the cave. I remember it being a bit more dramatic the last time I saw it with my friend Sarah, but it was still very pretty (I guess I’m just a desensitised caver now). No Boggles sighted, just a Sqwill.
