Trips & Reports

A very basic short cave with a simple entrance pitch. I would recommend doing this as a starting cave just after arrival in the area, not at the end just after a marathon of awesome caves. Sam however seemed to be really at home in this cave and found literally handfuls of badger bones between the rocks near the entrance. Overall though some nice formations but nothing spectacular compared to other Slovenian caves.

Best cave ever!!

Best cave trip ever!

Best Cave

There was a healthy amount of faff before this one, lots of messing around at the hut, going in and out to get odd bits of kit, filling up bottles etc. and then a poor decision on parking further away from the cave than we had to, but we eventually made it. I remember this being a very intimidating pitch when I went last time, but then again, it was my first year of caving so my memories are maybe a... read more

Change 2 as it was raining a little when I came out and very windy while I was going in. Apart from that a good trip, if slightly lacking in things to look at.

Change 2 as it was too hot, fun 5 because it can't be anything else for this cave. A great trip, even better than last time.

After driving to a tall tower not far from Speleocamp we waited around under the trees for a while where there was a round hut that sold drinks that was not yet open. A little later a car drove up and two people got out, looking possibly like cavers. After wandering over they asked us if we were "the tourists". Confirming to them that were indeed not locals and therefore tourists, they wondered off again leaving us confused if they... read more

“Girls just wanna have fun!” We definitely had fun on that ICOG (inter club only girls) trip down Ding, Dong, Bell and Pussy in Ireby Fell Cavern. Our plan was to perfect our rigging skills in a more interesting setting than good old Sell Gill. As Maz and I were to take the train to Leeds where Ruth would pick us up in her car, we initially intended to use ULSA gear to avoid having to juggle with personal gear and... read more

It was Toby’s birthday weekend away and permits had been sorted out for the club for several Gaping Gill routes. Maz and I really wanted to get some SRT and rigging practice on a girls’ only trip, as we didn’t want to be an obstacle for others who intended to cover more distance with more exciting trips such as Dihedral. Also we thought that it would be good not to have the feeling of having to “perform” in front of... read more

What a brilliant trip :) After strapping myself up with about 40 krabs (because that's how many we had in the boot), and sliding down to the first drop some short jokes already came my way. The first bit didn't take long, although I did get a tad confused about what ropes we had, and with Mike saying we were going to drown if it rained, I deceided to just get going and let Toby worry about that. On my way to... read more

The Monday bank holiday greeted us with sunshine and warmth in the morning as we set off to Alum, where an exchange trip between Diccan and Alum was planned. John and Mike were to walk up the hill before Andrew, Toby and me, and begin their pleasantly wet journey through Diccan. In the meantime, Toby was trying to gather enough underlayers having forgotten his thermal bottoms. In the end he had to wear his new, £200 Montane trousers, which were... read more
