A huge thank you to everyone who donated towards the CavefestUK Skydive appeal for Mendip Cave Rescue. We managed to raise an impressive £565. Without the support from fundraisers and donations, the Heroes of the underground simply wouldn't be able to be there for us. So once again. Thank you...

We are half way to our target and we are very grateful for everyone who has dug deep and donated to help us raise money for Cave Rescue. Every little helps, and if you can, please donate. Supporting the heroes of the underground. Thank you.

Donations close 30th June

It's finally happened. Our brave, and rather chilled volunteer, Matty Dredge, (Mendip Caving Group) has successfully completed his Skydive in aid of charity. As you all know, we are supporting Cave Rescue. More specifically, Mendip Cave Rescue. We have all caved in the area at one time or...

One last push. Matty Dredge has finally completed his skydive for charity. I'm sure you have all seen the links to donate, and if you can, please help us to make a difference.

Well I must admit, this is beginning to weigh me down. Another's postponed jump. Not the best of news, but we can all agree, Safety first. The again rescheduled date is. Sunday 21st May 10am Let's hope the weather behaves itself this time and Matty finally gets to jump. Don't forget. You can...

Here we go again. Just 2 days to go before the re attempt of the big jump. Support Cave Rescue and follow the link above to donate. Every penny goes to charity. Go for it Matty.

That is so cool. It would be great to have that done for loads of caves. How long does something like that take to compile?

Classie. Made me giggle that one

UPDATE. Matty will be attempting his jump again on, Sunday 23rd April 2023. Support Matty and Cave Rescue here. https://gofund.me/d3808ae9

Unfortunately, Buzz Skydive have postponed the jump today due to poor weather forecast and cloud cover. Safety first everyone. We will of course update you all with a new date once re booking has been completed. Don't Worry Matty, we will throw you out another day. Hehee

Just had the go ahead from Buzz Skydive. It's a go for Matty tomorrow. Donate here

Love the pics. Great to see such young ones having so much fun

As an MCG member, I can say that our club does support new cavers with training. I believe we offer both relaxed informal and more specific training programmes.

Its just over 24hrs to go before Matty takes to the skies. We will be at Honiton airfield at 12 noon to encourage him along the way. I'm pretty sure he's gonna be a little scared. Unless the weather decides otherwise, and we will know by 4pm today, the 25th March if its postponed, Matty will...

I'm interested to see what everyone thinks of this little video. Shatter cave. Shatter cave

Looks like there is going to be some great talks available during cavefest 2023, and a showing of the new film A Crack in the Mountain. There will also be a 1 to 1 Q&A with the film director. Needless to say, the bar will be well stocked. Day tickets available. Children under 16yrs go free...
