Stonking weekend up in Yorks. Three trips down Gaping on Saturday; two trips up on Kingsdale on the Sunday & an almighty kit fest in Bernies.

First ever ICCC visit to the Forest of Dean. An excellent trip with lots of stomping through gorgeous stream way and the occasional sump culminating in an underground Christmas pudding.

Fantastic trip to Slovenia, too much snow for much serious caving (entrances on Migovec were buried under 1.5m of snow!), but some great winter mountaineering.

Check out the Brilliant Photos, Trip report to come when it's written.

Well, we finally have the completed version of the Gardeners' World survey 2005 exploration - try and spot the little bird (AKA Mud Slump / Lovers' Corner)!

After a rather faffy start on Friday, we were finally crawling past lorries on the M4 when with a sudden 'ker-clunk' our sexy Ford Transit sounded like a WWII tank. Loitering at the Reading services while waiting for the AA was not the most auspicious start to a caving weekend, but with a bit of carefully applied wire we were soon on our way! Weekend went brilliantly; we had St Cuthberts & Shatter cave leaders to take us underground, so got to see some extremely pretty formations!

A full report of the sofa burning debauchery and how ol' sea-dog Trevor nearly ended up with an eye-patch with appear as soon as one of the usual suspects writes it...

Desperate to go deep again, ICCC returned to Yorkshire. Frigging freezing; but Yorks managed to avoid the snow that was falling across North Wales & Cornwall. Alas, no photos, but a fine report instead.

Lovely trip up to Yorkshire for the fireworks weekend; lots of rain had fallen over the previous week so we were rather restricted in our choice of cave. Gaping Ghyll, Easegill, Tatham Wife & Bull Pot were all knocked off over the weekend though!

Lovely weekend away in the Brecon Beacons, South Wales. Early start on Saturday followed by two enormous trips down the Ogof Flynnon Ddu cave system, followed by an exciting scramble through the Little Neath river cave on Sunday.

Storming day trip to the Mendips, 18 people down Swildons hole. Most of the freshers did sump 1 & explored beyond, everyone out by 6pm in time for tea!

With the help of the National Express & B.Ogbourne's Tardis golf, six of us made it down to the national caving conference being held in a school Churchill, Somerset. Rik gave a light-hearted talk about our discoveries in Slovenia this summer; many other presentations & videos were viewed, and some truly awful dancing enjoyed.
