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 an ever-growing group of friendly cavers 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.

Expo 2010: Montenegro

The flights have been booked, and the expo will be held from 27th July till the 16th August. We plan on camping in the same area of Durmitor as we did in the 2007 expedition (see below), once again joining the Serbian club, ASAK.

We have many expo training sessions coming up including surveying practice down Excalibur Pot on the 22nd May, rescue practice during our Bull Pot Farm weekend away on the 14th-16th May and a general training weekend on 10th-11th July.
