Haven't been caving in the Dales before, looking for some nice intermediate level caves to go explore with 2-3 friends in the summer!

For small values of "summer", the BPC Gaping Gill winch meet is only a few weeks away. Most of the entrances will be rigged and visiting cavers are welcome to use our ropes, e.g. for a through trip from Stream to Bar.

There's usually an announcement here, last year: https://ukcaving.com/board/index.php?threads/bpc-gaping-gill-winch-meet-2025.33103/

The Craven run theirs in August, this year it's 14th to 21st August
