Abstract

Interested in starting your own caving expedition? Come for a group discussion, on how to go about getting permissions, contacts, funding and managing logistics, team members, objectives. All experience levels welcome. We'll be introducing a mentoring scheme and would love to hear from old-hands who are keen to pass their experience onto future leaders.
