Reading University Caving Club 
As part of our celebrations of our 50th anniversary as a club, we thought it was time for us to venture a bit further afield… We’d been talking vaguely about going to Ireland for ages, but somehow it never quite materialised – until one day we miraculously found it was happening!
While we were there, we:
Admired the wonderful green landscapes…
Stayed at the legendary caving hut The Hoo – a very welcoming place, and home of the toilet with the best views in Ireland!
Explored some amazing horizontal caves…
And some stunning vertical ones…
Went to a cave in a pub! Our lifetime ambitions are now fulfilled…
Swam in a lake in the rain, next to a prison (don’t ask…!)
Climbed up a mountain…
Went to a gig in a cave!
Had a giant bonfire…
And returned back to Britain in the sunset…
All in all it was a fantastic trip! A huge thanks to Jo, for all her efforts organising everything, and many thanks also for the fantastic hospitality offered by everyone we met in Ireland! I’m sure we’ll be paying them another visit in the not too distant future…
