I'm a novice, how much will this caving madness cost me?
The first meet (13-14 Oct) will cost you £ 25 and will include transportation, breakfast on sunday, accomodation and gear rental. You might want to bring some packed food for the saturday dinner and some extra money to stop and have deliciously uhealthy curry on the way back home on sunday night.
The following weekend meets will cost you between £ 25.50 and £ 32, depending on how much gear you will need to borrow from the club. The £ 25.50 cost includes transportation, breakfast on saturday and sunday, dinner on saturday and accomodation. Gear rental fees are explained below. We suggest to bring some spare cash/food to provide yourself with nutritional support on friday night and sunday night. Expecially on sunday night you will be hungry :)

As a novice you will borrow all the gear you need from the club. The club charges daily rates on individual gear items.
- Basics: Oversuit £ 0.75
- Basics: Undersuit £ 0.50
- Basics: Light (and helmet) £ 0.50
- Basics: Kneepads £ 0.25

For the 3 first meets you won't need vertical (SRT) equipment, as we will be using ladders. So the basic gear rental will be £ 2.00 a day. During the following meets you will have to borrow SRT kits to happily go up and down ropes on your own, and the daily rental will be £ 3.25.
