*For anyone planning on attending the MCR demo, please make sure you read this...if you know anyone interested please share this info with them*

"At present we are planning on having four underground work stations,1, Communications,(at the entrance to Mud Passage route from the Gorge) 2, Stretcher packaging,( The Gorge above the Bridge) 3, Pitch Hauling,(At the fixed ladder Devil?s Elbow route) 4, Casualty assessment, and ?Before the rescue turns up? (The 1st climb, Mud passage route). We are planning to man each work station with two Wardens plus relevant equipment.

Because of the rules regarding the cave that we have to abide to, my plan is:
People can park at the Farm as per usual, but please share cars. The ?1 per car will still apply, and please respect any directions from the farmer or his wife
Also please remember that valid permits will be required and the minimum age is now 18.
Checking in will be done at the Entrance (or very close)
Cave teams will need to go in at 5 minute intervals.
There will be two time slots for cavers wishing to attend, 20 cavers at 10:30 am (4 teams of 5) and 20 cavers at 1:00 pm (4 teams of 5). Hopefully every one out of the cave by 16:20"

We would like people to register through cavefestuk.co.uk to get a good idea of numbers, or message direct to me...You can also register last minute in the Hunter's Lodge backroom Friday evening or at Priddy village hall Saturday AM between 8.30 and 10, but we can not guarantee a place.

Many thanks!
 
Hi there all,

Can we just remind everyone intending to come to the MCR demo to meet at Priddy Village Hall, or on the green sometime between 8.30am-10am or 11.30am-12.30pm if you are on the later team.

There is limited parking at the farm for the Charterhouse caves and we are advising car sharing to reduce any parking issues.

We will be sending an email out to anyone that has registered or expressed interest, this week.

If you would like to attend and have not registered through Facebook or the CaveFest website please drop us a message on cavefestuk@yahoo.com.

Many thanks.
