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... read more

Summer plans
Planning is well under way for our two trips abroad this summer:
The main club trip will hopefully be a return to Slovenia which proved to be extremely popular when we visited in 2009.
In addition, we will have smaller scale expo to the Durmitor region of Montenegro which we have visited for the last couple of years. The camp site this year will be much more remote than in previous years, but optimism levels are high after we came back with some good leads in 2011.
For more info on our trips abroad, take a look at our expeditions page.
