Digging ongoing at Manor Vale
The rift leads downwards in the west cave, and now drops approximately 6m to a choke of cobbles. It can be seen to continue downwards for another few meters at least, and a draft is occasionally felt. The dig is warm, dry and inviting, and only one minute drive from a pub!

YCC's energetic weekend in Wales!
Traveling down on the night of Friday 3rd February, staying at the Whitewalls hut, we spent a very snowy Saturday in Aggie, with one team taking a trip along to the Music Room, and another heading off to do the Inner Circle via Coal Cellar Passage. After the unpleasantness of Coal Cellar Passage we decided to carry on round and do the Outer Circle instead! This was just a warm up however for a 11-hour trip to Medusa's Children, in the far reaches of Ogof Draenen, a spectacular series of formations. For full trip reports see our Trips and Reports page.

YCC and NYMCC Christmas meal
Keeping with tradition our Christmas meal this year was at the Crown Inn at Hutton-le-Hole. We spent the day with a leisurely trip to Blood windypit (a surprisingly enjoyable and entertaining place) and a spot of digging at Manor Vale, followed by 8 hours in the pub with great food and beer. Many thanks to The Crown for looking after us!
Hello and welcome to York Caving Club!
Looking for York University Cave & Pothole Club? Click here.
We are a friendly caving club based in the City of York, close to the major caving areas of the Yorkshire Dales and Peak District.
Established in 2008, we have become a very popular club with both former students of the local university caving club, and non-former students alike. We are active in all aspects of caving, including regular weekends away to explore the caves of Somerset, Wales and Ireland, as well as frequent socials in the pubs and eateries of York. Our exploration group have also been involved in the recent discovery of two major new caves in the North York Moors totalling over one mile of previously unexplored passage.
Please take a moment to look around our website. You will find information, photos and reports on all our past, present and future events and explorations. If you would like to get involved or for further information please contact us.
