caving club peak district/yorkshire

[mole636]

Hi  I am new to caving and would appreciate some advice in joining a club somewhere up North.  I have done basic SRT but would love to take this further and gain more experience under the watchful eye/eyes of the prospective club. I live near Birmingham so maybe looking at caving once a month for the weekend. any good suggestions please
  :-\ :-\
Thankyou

I would suggest Orpheus Caving Club.

We have a hut (one of only 2 in the Peak) and welcome all cavers of any ability. Check out the details on the website above.

Alternatively new members are always welcome at the YSS, based near Horton in Ribblesdale in the Yorkshire Dales. We have our own hut and cater for all abilities with a regular meets list and training programme.

Seeing as you're centrally located, make sure you pay us a visit down on the Mendips too! Mendip Caving Group are always ready to welcome visitors.

Hi Mole, Birmingham offers some good clubs of it's own. Check out the 'Cave & Crag' at http://www.caveandcrag.co.uk, they have a beautiful hut in N. Wales (ideal for Croessor to Rhosydd trips!) - they have a planned meet to S Wales this month and are always doing something in the Peaks. Alternatively, Dudley are a very active club.
