LUSS: Lancaster Caving

Get ready for our next trip, happening tomorrow evening! This trip is perfect for those who have done a cave or two and are looking to take it to the next level. We'll be introducing vertical caving with ladders.

A rather soggy outing for our members last week 🌧️🌧️ still lots of fun had all round

This weeks trip will be to mistral, a slightly trickier cave with a climb down into it followed by a mixture of crawls and big chambers.

Come along and say hi!

The second trip of next week will also be going to long churn (beginner friendly) but will be Thursday night

Our 2nd trip of the year is coming! Beginner-friendly and tickets drop tomorrow. This one is only a Small group, but don't worry, we've got another one on Thursday!

We're super excited for our first trip of the year! This time, we're heading to Great Douk, a personal favourite of mine, with its amazing formations and waterfalls. No caving experience? No worries! This cave is perfect for all skill levels.

The details: meet us by Sultans on campus at 16:45 on Thursday. We'll take care of the gear; just bring a change of clothes, a towel, and snacks.

To join this trip, you'll need a membership - check our story and highlights for details on how to get one. Tickets will be released on Sunday at 2pm and A step-by-step guide on buying tickets will be up soon!
