This year it has been decided to do less trips but in a more diverse spread, hopefully encouraging more people to come along. I hope to be on most of these trips and that being so will try and avoid the embarrassment of booking lots of permits and canceling at the last minute. (Cf Otter Hole, Craig - a - ffynnon, slaughter etc etc etc) There should be a general encouragement to bring novices wherever possible. You will also notice that Mendip trips will probably try and stay at the Wessex. The prime reason for this is that I am a member and have access to the keys and permits and can arrange for leaders to all the interesting caves including Cuthberts and Fairy. If people have something in mind let me know - The Wessex have unparalleled access to caves that are normally closed or seasonally unavailable.
