New to caving autumn 2023 sessions
We are pleased to be supporting the Yorkshire Subterranean Society (YSS) and Red Rose Cave and Pothole Club (RRCPC) this autumn with the running of three ‘New to Caving’ events.
Please note that these sessions are not suitable for parties, corporate events or similar.
Specifics for each event, including…
cncc.org.uk
The CNCC is proud to promote these sessions and facilitate signup, but once this is done, we hand over to the organising club who will contact attendees and take things from there.
The Craven Pothole Club ran the first of these sessions back in February... see below for a report...
We appreciate that many readers here on UK Caving will already be experienced cavers. However, we know that many cavers may have friends who are interested in giving it a go, or your club may get contacted by novices, who perhaps you aren’t able to accommodate due to lack of time or spare equipment. In these situations, why not direct them to one of the above events as an excellent first introduction?

New to Caving
I'm interested, so what's the next steps? Getting started, training and how to take it further.
