This upcoming pub night we have a treat. Masaki (with some input from Ciaran) has prepared a presentation about climbing in Squamish. A mix of high octane esoterica (Masaki) and tried and true easy classics (Ciaran) this show is sure to have something for everyone.
8pm, on Zoom.

For our ongoing speaker series this week we have a real treat. Have you ever wondered how the other half lives? While we are groveling through that slimy offwidth, have you spared a moment to think of those who crawl through wet, muddy and cold passages for fun? Well wonder no longer. Our very own Matt and Aiora have prepared a slideshow and talk for us about everything caving.
8pm, on Zoom.
Contact: social@thecccc.org.ukPossible day trip to the Peak District
For existing club members only. Note that the club won’t be organising transport, so you’ll need to make your own plans for getting there (within government guidelines).

It’s nearer the limestone than grit but neither is that far away so it should suit both the trad and sport favouring members of the club.
(Note the change of venue – we were unable to find a suitable campsite in the Gower Peninsula)

Portland is pretty much entirely sport although I know that in the past some have made the drive to Swanage so as to find trad climbing.

Plan is to drive up to Yorkshire on Friday after work and return on Sunday
evening. I’ve had requests for some relatively easy SRT caves, to get
people back into the swing of vertical caving (feel free to make some
suggestions if you have any particular things you would like me to sort out
permits for).
I would suggest that this probably isn’t an ideal first trip – a lot of the
caves in Yorkshire involve ropework, and if it is wet there are limited
options (I’m also not super familiar with the non-SRT options in Yorkshire
– but if someone is, give me a shout). The South Wales trip in December
would be more suited to this.
AGM
8pm, to be held on Zoom (like last year).
For those of you who are not familiar with the workings of the club, the
club is run by its membership and each year we need meet to summarise the
year gone by, discuss future ideas and elect members to the committee to
run the club for the next year. We do need as many of you to participate
as possible.
