Molino is a large cave in the Matienzo valley which is particularly easy to visit and is often used as an introductory trip for new cavers in the area. The entrance is a massive river sink and the river can be followed to a sump which has been dived to a large resurgence, also in the valley. The picture shows some of the massive stalactites in the roof of the cave.

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 Tuesday 17/12/2024.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.
