Hi there! Welcome to the Imperial College Caving Club.

If you're new here, check out this video to see what we're all about:

If you're interested in caving, this is the place to try it out. Feel free to have a look around at some recent trip reports to learn about what we do, and look here for a brief summary. If you have any questions, just send us an email at ic.caving@gmail.com, or find us at the pub every Tuesday from 6pm - we'll be in 568 or the Union Bar, probably wearing a noticeably muddy helmet.

During termtime we'll be running weekend trips every two weeks or so, with sign-up emails being sent out to the mailing list (send us an email and we can add you to it!). The first two trips to Wales won't require any training or experience at all - you can just sign up and come along, and we'll provide all the equipment you need.

We'll be running rope training sessions every Wednesday, 1-5pm in Princes Gardens during Autumn term, where you can familiarise yourself with the equipment and SRT (single rope technique). You can just turn up and stay for as long as you like; just look for some people hanging in trees next to the Ethos sports centre. These skills will be used on trips to Yorkshire and Derbyshire, where the caves are predominantly vertical.

The glorious return of ICCC to Mallorca! Why had the club not visited in so long? We have no idea. This place was incredible. As was the tour itself!

First Devon trip in 20 years. We came to survey a micaceous hematite mine, and decided to do some caves. We stayed for the dead dogs, and we should be back circa 2046.

A Tour report filled with Useful and Non-Useful information about sluices, rivers, waterfalls, sumps, and other forms of underground water you will encounter during a winter caving tour in Yorkshire.

The poetic tale of F'ing Hopeless, plus some trips in GG and Alum.

Cider, Somerset, Swildon's, sludge, SRT training, squeeze-machine, 2am walk and more cider - truly the crème de la gone off crème.

OFD II. Once again the annual pilgrimage was made. Pumpkins, waterfalls, cakes and columns!

The lack of a minibus didn't affect the traditions of late nights and trips to Aggy on the first weekend away of the year. Keen to avoid wet kit, on Sunday everybody went to The Black Chamber (Siambr Ddu), a cave with an ominous name and boring reputation that protects the beauty within.

Alongside the core undergraduate group presenting our annual Slov talk, there was a strong showing of old lags with tales of their own at Hidden Earth 2025, held in the picturesque town of Llangollen in North Wales.

A Spartan report of a trip to the 'dip.

Cakes, caves, antiques and more cakes. Also Chris whipped some cream.
