hello

[kieronyoung]

hey all i am Kieron found this forum after another member pointed me this way so just thought i would say hello. I am very curious and interested in mining/ caving so i thought i would join and say hi.. From South Yorkshire

so i want to go caving/ mining BUT i don't want to be dangling 500ft down a cliff on a rope screaming for my life, p1ssing my self, whilst everyone above and below are videoing it and laughing.

So maybe something like a walk in/ walk out, no tight spaces, not much water and nothing which requires cave rescue when i get stuck.

I don't think its much to ask. (Oh I don't think).

I am based in South Yorkshire, nearer Nottingham then York,

So who wants to show me "the ropes" (or walk in/out)


Thanks

(MODS if in wrong place please move, if doesnt make sence, please delete)

PS. ii ask what i want and i dont like beating around the bush.

Hey Kieron, Welcome to the forum!  A quick google will find you a nearby caving club.  All will provide training and give you a safe introduction to exploring the underground! 

I can guarantee no-one will laugh at you mate, or put you in any danger!

Look one up buddy you're in for a treat if you decide to go for it.

Go for it!!
Scott.

Welcome to the forum.

It's well worth having a look online for a caving club to join. Most will let you (or rather encourage you) to come on a few trips before you become a member and will lend you kit to help you get started.

Hi Kieron,

http://www.chesterfieldcavingclub.org.uk/ have a few novice trips coming up soon. Contact me via website or pm if you fancy a try.

I can't edit an entry on trycaving.co.uk, so this is a blatant plug.
