BURNLEY CAVING CLUB

Burnley Caving Club remains an active caving club, with regular caving trips to the Yorkshire Dales and beyond. We are particularly proud of our continuing record of introducing people to the sport of caving... Burnley is a town in the North-West of England. Our caving club was formed in 1950 by a group of cavers living in Burnley who decided they would all benefit from forming a club which could own a collective pool of equipment such as ropes and ladders, and cave together as a group. Also at that time most of the established clubs were reluctant to admit female members. As the founder members enjoyed caving with ladies, Burnley Caving Club came into being open to all... Members also enjoy related pursuits like climbing, walking and mine exploration. On the social side after meeting on Thursday evenings we enjoy a drink afterwards at our local the Bridge Inn. Annually we have a Dinner usually held in the Dales. Other social events and non-caving meets are held throughout the year.
