Don't forget this is a CAL site, so it would be nice to have an email to permits@caveaccess.co.uk so we have a record. I'll retrospectively register you and log the trip
For anyone else interested in visiting CAL sites, just email the above address with your Name, BCA number and club affiliation (if any) so you are covered for any CAL sites till 31st Dec.
Cheers,
