Cave Appreciation Club

Working hard or hardly working?

This past weekend CAC members took on the challenge of learning to survey, powering through cold nights and morning huddles with great attitudes and puffy eyes.

Members learned the variety of roles that make up a survey team, and the importance of prioritising the Disto’s/Bric’s safety over their own lives.

Most members sketched cave passages, both on paper and with digital devices. At the cost of many brains turning to soup, the project cartographers now have plenty of data to generate beautiful cave maps.

We’re all extremely fortunate to have been entrusted with the project, borrowed supplies, and to have the support of the amazing leaders who volunteer their own time to pass on their knowledge.

If you want to hear more about people’s experiences from this trip, or want to come caving with us in the future, come to our next club meeting on 02/19 and become a full club member (more information in the highlights).

This past weekend might have been chilly but our members were toasty warm inside the caves, which are a steady 55 degrees year round!

We saw pseudoscorpions, baby slimy salamanders, adult cave salamanders, beautiful formations, and had a great time with our general and full members in two different caves!

Want to go caving with us? Make sure to join our GroupMe linked in our bio! And send us a DM if the link doesn't work :)
