Hey all. It's been a few years since we last supported summer expos as the global pandemic seems to have got in the way. This deal is really aimed at the summer expeditions with lots of student and youth participants. The amount of rope offered will depend on how many successfully apply but should be 200m as a minimum. The rules are similar to previous years. See here for the 2019 comp;

So how do you get hold of this rope? Well... the more coverage your expedition gets the better it is for all your sponsors... and cavers like to hear your expedition stories..... so you're going to have to blog about your expedition on ukcaving. What does that mean? To apply you will have to post on the 'expeditions' board of the forum giving some history, details, hopes and objectives of your trip. Those who have applied before are very welcome to apply again. If you kept us all well informed before then you are likely to be successful again.
We'll make our decision in just over a week so you'll have to get your skates on. Closing date is 10pm Sunday 25th June. As part of the deal you give a commitment to blog about the trip on the same thread. This must include as a minimum; a post before departure, two posts from the field and a good report upon your return. Make it positive and fun and that will help with recruitment and sponsors next year.
The rope will be [approx] 9.5mm SRT purchased through Spanset UK. This is a UKcaving sponsored initiative but we are very grateful to Spanset for offering a generous discount and supporting many other caving projects.
