Vertical Caving (SRT) Training Weekend - Buchan

Requirements: Previous caving experience. Suitably demonstrated skill and interest in caving.

This trip is intended to introduce people with previous caving experience to the skills required to traverse caves where ropes and skills such as abseiling and ascending are required.

The trip will be limited to no more than 6 people (excluding myself) to ensure an effective teaching size (and due to the limited space in the training area).

There will also be a session in the club rooms after the usual tuesday meeting in the week before the trip to organise some equipment issues to save time on the trip itself
