Hey there,

I'm new to caving, although I have explored a few mines in Wales. Just wondering if anyone knows of any caving groups in the Midlands. I'm in Coventry and am finding it difficult to locate any groups near me.

Any help or advice would really be appreciated!!

Simon

I would like to join this one please

Me please 😊
