Potholing

Explore Limestone passages following underground river systems. Descend on ropes through gigantic vertical cave systems. Travel to Romania where the caves are as big as cathedrals. See cave formations, stalactites, stalagmites and fossils. Experienced cavers and total newcomers from the potholing association have done all these things over the past few years and you can join us.

Have you ever watched Planet Earth with your mouth open in awe? Take part in our expeditions and experience first-hand such challenges as SRT and navigation of complex cave systems. Be deafened by the power of a surging waterfall; conquer your apprehensions before stepping out into the void to descend into darkness on a single strand of rope. Do all this before clambering out of the cave and heading to the pub, tired, hungry and knowing that you really earned your pints.

We run regular trips, usually to Yorkshire and Derbyshire, every second weekend. Most years we go further afield on summer expeditions.

You don’t need to have any specialist equipment or experience. We can provide all of this. To find out more or to get involved with the club, come along to Usige Beathe (on Woodlands Road), on a Thursday after 21:00, email our friendly committee or visit our website: www.gla.ac.uk/clubs/potholing.
