for the next Open Days. When we are ready, you will be able to reserve trips on the Open Day using a series of form on the Open Day pages. Please note that your booking will be acknowledged automatically. Also, do not try to book after 05/09/2025 at 1000 as the booking system closes then.
You need to send a donation before the day and your booking is not confirmed until then. Pre-booked visitors who do not arrive at the ticket desk fifteen (15) minutes before the trip time may lose their tickets which will be sold to anyone waiting for a trip.
Other enquiries about Open Days can be e-mailed to the Club or you can go back to the general page on Open Days.
We normally take a maximum of 14 on a trip but accept about 7 or 8 advance bookings per trip. However, in the last couple of years (post-Covid), we have cut down most trips to 8-10 visitors. The routes can vary during the day with some involving easy crawling or descents down a ladder or chain. If you are unsure whether the trip is suitable for you, read the FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) or contact the club.
