How does a typical weekend work?
We usually meet at the tackle store on Friday afternoon/evening to pack gear into cars then and we drive off. Typically we stop for food at pizza/fish&chips/kebab/chinese places on the way to the hut (take some money along for this or carry your own sandwiches). On the saturday we cook communal breakfast and we make up some plan on who is going where/when. Caves can be within walking distance or they might require a short drive, so off we go caving! After caving we get back to hut where some poor soul will cook communal dinner, and then we drink beer/wine and recount the day's adventures, we might go to a local pub, or play silly games. On the sunday we have communal breakfast and then go caving again or we set out to go walking or we eat cake in local shops. Sometimes we manage to do all three things in a single day! Roughly at mid afternoon we set off to drive back. Sometimes we stop to eat a hot meal, curry is the favourite choice (take along some more money for this)!
