Second Saturday

Wookey Hole – Wookey 24 and the Land of Hope and Glory.
Duration – 2 – 5 hours.
Location – Meet at Wookey Hole Car Park at 10:00.
We have lined up three Wookey Hole wardens, who are happy to take people to either Wookey 24 or the Land of Hope and Glory. Due to the access agreement, we will be limited to 18 cavers and will need to provide a list of the caver’s names to Wookey on the preceding Monday (3 rd March). Therefore you must email me (caving@wessex-cave-club.org) to reserve your place, also let me know whether you would prefer a trip to  Wookey 24 or The Land of Hope and Glory.

For those who aren’t familiar with Wookey:-
The Land of Hope and Glory trip takes about 2 to 3 hours and fairly straight forward. There is some very interesting geology and the terminal rift is very impressive.
Wookey 24 is a much harder trip that will take 3-5 hours. The trip involves descending a series of narrow rifts for some 70m (these are very energetic on the return) until you emerge in the Wookey 24 series. From here it is possible to visit the Wookey 23 and 24 sumps, the divers camp and undertake a refreshing swim around Sting Corner. You will need to bring Cow’s Tails as there is stapled climb and high level traverse.
Both trips will undoubtedly involve a post caving Ice Cream (weather permitting).
