Looking for someone to take university group caving on 3rd+4th March

Hi there,

I'm organizing a trip to the SWCC for the weekend of March 3rd/4th. Whilst I myself have some caving experience, most of the others in the group do not. Would there be any willing volunteers to take us around OFD or other caves on the Saturday and sunday. When I used to cave with Newport university Alan Braybrooke was our guide as he was at the uni, so it would be great if you're around Al and willing? Otherwise we'd be very grateful to anyone prepared to give the group an introduction to caving.

Cheers,

Ferg.
