Hello cavers. The YUCPC committee has felt it necessary to speak on the University of York Students’ Union decision to ratify the Restore Britain Society. Please read our statement thoroughly and understand that hatred, bigotry, and prejudice are NOT tolerated within our club, our community, and our university. YUCPC welcomes those from marginalized and vulnerable communities with open arms.

We must reiterate: An inclusive community CANNOT be tolerant of the intolerant ‼️

Stay cavey,
YUCPC

Stop and smell the… stalactites?
As cavers, we often get asked by our family, friends, and everyone on the internet ‘Why would you ever willingly go in a cave?’ Our answer: PRETTIES! These formations are the product of years upon years upon years of calcite build up. It’s a spectacular sight to see the work of the Earth, and only a very small percent of the population ventures underground to see them! ✨
Recently, more of our members have obtained cameras to take on trips. These photos were all captured in South Wales on our week away.

To protect these precious sights, the names of the caves will not be given.

Our week in South Wales has finished but we’re all still missing it! This trip was monumental to members of our club. Freshers began navigating through Ogof Ffynnon Ddu, some camped underground for the first time, and above all, we wandered through the depths of South Wales and took many photos! Having over 300 photos to choose from, I’ve selected some that show how varied our trips were, especially in terms of technicality, water levels, and formations!

Our Wales week is a turning point for the club. It is the time when our new committee begin to take over their roles. Everyone has done an excellent job handing over to their successors! Committee introductions will be posted in the coming months!

£4,135!!!
That. Is. INCREDIBLE!
Thank you everyone who donated to our Challenge Week fundraiser! Thanks to your support we will be able to purchase new safety equipment to take underground, new rope to replace the worn out ones in the training hall, and additional sizes of personal equipment! This money will greatly change the reach of our club, giving us a better chance to safely train and lead members. We couldn’t have done this without the support of the caving community, friends, and family! THANK YOU!

This week required a huge effort by many members of our committee and additional volunteers. So many people showed up to help with the Mariana Trench challenge and the midnight 5K. Thanks to everyone in the club who helped out with this, and a special shout-out to our Treasurer Sophie, who put in extra effort to pull this campaign off. Thank you!
