Calling all Yorkshire MOORS Cavers

[darkshilo]

Hi i'm looking for someone to learn me some stuff about caves, any takers?

 

[Alex]

A little more info would be helpful and how should I learn you, do you come on tape lol?

Yorkshire MOORS - there's one or two people on here from York Uni (see Excalibur Pot in Yorkshire section) - they might be able to assist if it's Moors info you're after as they have recently made a fine discovery over there.

Just want to learnt the general practices and eticet for caving, bout it really, and be able to go off and do it safley myself. Not a great deal more than that alex. (yeah my english sucks)

When Alex said 'A bit more info', I think he meant some things like your name and where you live so people can made an educated decision. Your profile leaves a lot to the imagination, you could be anyone, my mum told me never to go caving with strangers I met on the net!
If you told us your name, roughly where you live, if you have any kit and if you'd chip in to fuel costs for someone giving up thier own free time to take you out, then you may get a better response.
I live in the moors (Osmotherley) but do most of my caving in Nidderdale and the Dales rather than the Moors, if that's of interest to you? I might have to check out Excalibur pot tho' - it looks great!

Sorry that you don't seem to be getting any offers of a trip out.. seems a shame, but dont let it put you off. Its difficult sometimes to meet folks and get involved. Seems you have a sensible attitude. Best bet would be make some initial contact with a local club, get on a few trips with them and see how you like it.

However - Loads of info here

Sam: Cheers man. I've actually aproched DDUCC and YCC. Might be going out with some of the YCC guys tomorrow night (weather dependant)

I understand peoples reluctance with a newbie but i promise i'm not bad at most things, and learn fairly quick.

 

[SamT]

I'll assume that's Castleton near Rochdale, and not the Peak District caving mecca of Castleton

 

[dunc]

Could also be Castleton in the North York Moors..

 

[darkshilo]

Sorry thought you knew what i ment ur right Dunc it it tiss Castleton in NYM.
Appologies for any missunderstanding by 'MOORS' i ment north yorkshire moors not the dales or the peaks.
Havent even broke double figures with posts and already i'm having to decode them!!!
appologies
