Welcome to York University Cave and Pothole club. Exploring caves all over the world since 1981!

If you want to experience places few people get to see, wander in caverns six times the size of York Minster and abseil down to 300 metres underground, then come and see US! YUCPC is a small and friendly club who meet every Thursday in the University Sports Hall at 8:00pm. We go caving every weekend, in the Yorkshire Dales, Peak District and sometimes further a field such as Wales and the Mendips. You don’t need to worry about gear as we have all the equipment and clothing you need.

2009 Slovenian Summer Holiday!

It's not long now until thirty keen members of YUCPC pack up their bags and head to sunny Slovenia. Slovenia has over 8000 known caves and for two weeks in August, Speleocamp near the town of Laze will be our home. The aim is to relax and see as many of the local caves as we can in between partaking in some of the many activities available in the area such as walking, sunbathing, climbing, sunbathing, canyoning, sunbathing, and white water rafting. Check out the diary and forum for more details.
