OU Cave Club trips

Trips in Trinity Term provide great opportunities for new and experienced members alike to do some interesting caving, often in slightly smaller groups that in the other terms.  Our trip plans include Mendip, Wales, the Forest of Deans and Yorkshire.

If for safety and logistic reasons we are unable to accommodate anyone on a trip, we'll let them know in advance, and prioritise them for a place on a trip later in the term.
