Another massive Yorkshire trip! To the surprise of many we pulled of a complete Lost Johns visit with every route rigged and the bottom reached. Certainly something we haven't done in a long time. On Sunday we visited Notts 2, throughly inspecting the scaffolding and subsequent cave.

Our first Yorkshire trip proved to be very popular despite the lack of permits. West Kingsdale therefore was the unlucky host of 18 ICCCers on Satruday in Bull, Jingling, Rowten and Simpsons! Sunday saw a couple of teams swapping caves, Bull and Jingling, cleverly left rigged on Saturday and definitely no-one went to Gaping Ghyll.

Back to OFD, this time getting right into the stream way on Saturday although turning back before Top waterfall with detours to see Trident and Judge. Sunday saw a visit to Porth Y Ogof, which was doubly fun due to exceptionally high water levels.

A great first trip to Wales. Based in the WSG we had trips to OFD (top entrance) where we did the short loop, high waters preventing us getting into the streamway safely. On Sunday we visited the beautiful Bridge and White Lady caves.

Hello new IC students!

Welcome to the Imperial College Caving Club website. If you are interested in caving, you've come to the right place.

We are an active and friendly club. We have regular weekend caving trips, mid-week meet ups in London, and foreign expeditions (...holidays). We hope you'll want to get involved.

A list of our upcoming trips can be found above, as well as on our GCal. There's lots of useful information for new and prospective members here. You can also check out our trip reports in the menu to the left. A typical Wales (fresher's) trip; A typical Yorkshire trip. And please email us on our gmail if you have any questions.

Our next appearance will be in Beit Quad at Fresher's Fair, maybe we will see (or have seen) you there. After that join us in Princes Gardens each Wednesday at 1pm where we will be doing an equipment familiarisation session (read: climbing in trees with our caving kit) or at the Union Bar on Tuesdays at 7pm (starting 8/10/13) for beer and wildly exaggerated tales of past caving adventures.

A pre-term trip to Yorkshire to hone our leadership and teamworking skills. Saturday saw the smaller cave connoisseurs of the group head to trapdoor with its ominously named squeezes; The Ripper, The Gripper and The Stripper. A less masochistic group did SRT practice in Ireby Fell. On Sunday Alum was the cave of choice to enjoy the sunshine.

Canyoning! Like caving without the roof. With rope, wetsuits and a bumper book of canyons in Ticino we travelled to Northern Italy and Southern Switzerland for aquatic fun. A very succesfuly trip seeing 5 trips to 4 canyons, a lot of olive and bread eaten and only 1 hire car totalled.

The club was on expedition to Tolminski Migovec, Slovenia, from the 11th July to the 17th August. There we joined the local JSPDT to continue exploration of the Tolminski Migovec mountain. Our plan is to setup an underground camp in the Migovec System at Camp X-Ray, and push the deep leads at 800-972 m of depth. The best source of in the field updates will probably be twitter, photos are most likely to appear on facebook as people come down from the mountain / fly home. We have a talk planned for Hidden Earth 2014 in September.

Showing incredible enthusiasm and an increasing desperation to breathe something other than diesel fumes ICCC fled to the Midi-Pyrenees on an unprecedented second foreign tour. With help from local contacts we visited three caves in total, Degaudez, Coume Ferrat, and Portillon (Portaloo). Other highlights include a walk to a frozen lake and a bbq in the pissing rain.

An ambitious plan to camp in Daren began ominously with broken van keys and the president out of action in a (non union)van/bike incident. Undeterred the team struck out and made a good go of Daren. Repeating the entrance crawl twice in one day is probably punishment enough for failing to find the way on. A seperate contigent accompanied the hut warden on a survey trip into Aggy, whilst the patched up president wandered across the hills.
