Autumn Calendar: Oct --> Dec, 2006

Tuesday 3rd October: FRESHERS FAYRE!! Come and talk to us at our stall whether you're a fresher or post-grad looking for something exciting.

Weekend 13th-15th October: Derbyshire. The first weekend trip of the 06/07 Academic year, open to everybody. The hut is booked, all you need is a sleeping bag and if you don't have one of those contact us and we'll find one for you. The cost will be £30 inclusive of everything; food, transport, accommodation and anything to do with caving, cheaper than a single night out in London!

Slideshow 17th October: Come and see some of the amazing photos from underground and all over the world that ICCC have taken all over the world.

Weekend 20th-22th October: Mendip. Escaping London to the charming countryside of Somerset in order to explore the sporting cave, Swildons, spaces limited to ~15.

Weekend 10rd-12th November: Yorkshire. This will be your first chance to use those rope skills that we'd have taught you by now, the first time your hanging above a 30m drop is awe inspiring and will leave you aching for more.

Weekend 24th - 26th November: Wales. The beautiful landscape of South Wales is home to the deepest cave in the country.

Weekend 8th - 10th December: Yorkshire. Time to turn from a novice to an experienced caver, try some more advanced SRT techniques and get ready for our winter tour.

Summer Calendar

April --> July, 2006

Tuesdays: Every Tuesday you'll find us in Da Vinci's in the union come along and sign up for a trip or just to have a chat. Look out for the usual suspects.

This term is going to be more adhoc than last term because we've all got exams. So if you're free on a particular weekend and feel like going caving pop along and we'll arrange something there and then.

May Bank Holiday 28th - 1st May: An elite team of ICCC are heading up to Yorkshire to try all the new kit that's arrived with the possibility of a night time rendezvous with Nottingham University Caving Club.

Weekend 9 - 11th June: Were heading down to Devon for the first time in living memory for some mine exploration and tea shop caving. Join us by e-mailing the address on the left or by coming to one of our Tuesday evening pub meets in the union.

Autumn Calendar

Sept --> Dec, 2005

Tuesday 4th October: FRESHERS FAYRE!

Sunday 9th October: Fresher Daytrip to the Mendips. Tetley planning a hardcore Swildons for the eager, more sedate Sump 1 & back for the less crazed.

Wednesday 19th - Thursday 27th October: Operation Enigma Plan is to get out to Slovenia, up to Mig [based in Shepherd's huts] and use a bit of chemical persuasion with U-Bend. Tetley will be hiring a car, long-weekenders should be able to get in via Trieste.

Weekend 29-30th October: Halloween Trip Spin up to Yorkshire to tickle the witch & train up those SRT skills

Weekend 5-6th November: Remember, remember, the fifth of November, Gunpowder Treason & Pot! Massive trip planned down Gaping Gyll. Its 3 days after the full moon, so even if we miss the sun - the shaft should still be impressive!

Weekend 25-27th November: University Caving Seminar at the YSS, Yorkshire. Serious ICCC trip on Saturday, followed by joining the party with hundreds of university cavers, a more sedate trip on the Sunday - possibly down the rather pleasent 'cake shop' cave...
