The Craven Pothole Club 2024 Gaping Gill Winch meet is now upon us.
We would like to offer an open invitation to ALL cavers (even “Southerners” and the BPC
)to come along and enjoy this amazing system.
Below is some information to help with your visit. Any questions please post on here and we will get back to you ASAP.
* The winch is operating 9th - 16th August.
* Cavers not requiring the winch are welcome from Monday 5th
* There will be something rigged until midday on the 16th.
* Which entrances are rigged will be updated on this post.
* All cavers please come and register at the booking in tent, we will have up to date information which could help your trip planning.
* Cavers NOT requiring a DESCENT on the winch do NOT have to join the (probably very long
) queue. Just “discreetly” come down to the booking in tent. (Accessing the shake hole via the opposite side to the steps would work well)
* Please do not use the “Short cut” up from Clapdale farm on your walk up, we have been specifically asked NOT to use this by the landowner.
* Dihedral route only to be used outside of public winching times.
* The UKC promotional code of “Any chance of a brew” is valid once again. Just come up to the catering tent and see one of our very friendly club members. There may even be a chance of Custard Cream this year !!
Looking forward to seeing as many cavers as possible.
