This is a picture of the main passage in Lennie's Cave at Secadura, near Matienzo in Northern Spain. The cave is named in memory of Len Gee. There are two entrances but the one usually used is a flat out crawl that leads to a large chamber. See more pictures in the caving gallery. Sadly, the cave has not yet fulfilled its promised length but time will tell.

Cavers do not always go down caves! We generally enjoy any underground experience and one not too distant from most DCC members is the Queensway Tunnel under the Mersey between Liverpool and Birkenhead. There have now been two club trips to the tunnels led by experienced local guides. The picture shows the descent from the tunnel access at road level to the deck below where there are emergency bays.

The next public event at the Alderley Edge mines is an evening trip at Wood Mine on Wednesday 18/02/2026.To find out if there is still space available, go to the booking page.

In case of emergency at Alderley Edge, call POLICE 999 and ask for DERBYSHIRE CAVE RESCUE.   They will call out local team members.  Do NOT call for the Fire Brigade.
