If you are interested in caving and would like to give it a go, then come join us in the Cobden View pub at 8.30 pm on a Thursday. Alternatively you can contact us and we will arrange a trip for you.
We are an active club, who cave regularly in the Peak District and Derbyshire. We also go on monthly weekends away to the Yorkshire Dales, South Wales and the Mendips.
We regularly arrange and take part in expeditions all around the world to discover new caves.
Welcome to the SUSS website.
We mostly use this website for posting trip reports: a fantastic way to learn about caving and (we hope) a valuable resource to other cavers.
However, this website also has some information about our club, how to get involved (Information for beginners), and our rough calendar (Meets).
The best way to learn more about caving with us is by emailing our inclusions officer (inclusions@shefcavers.org.uk) or by joining our Facebook group.

Over the past two weeks I’ve been down P8 for a hydrogeological quest on behalf of John Gunn (BCRA), Viktoria Nemeth (MUSC) and Liam Kelly (dirty non-caver). What started as a simple dye trace from P3 (Gautries) to upstream Sump B in P8 (Jackpot) ballooned into an exciting whistle-stop tour through the hydrology of the […]
// I know it’s been a while. Exams were this week. Having finished them, without further a do…// I begun by helping Blaire to her feet, now fully conscious. Apparently some warmth and affection undid her hurt and she was able to hobble across the rocks, with her loving arm wrapped tightly around my shoulders. […]
The bank holiday weekend was obviously designed with caving in mind, allowing 3 days of fucking about in the Dales. With this in mind, I joined Jack, Rachael, Helen, Creg and Nat at the Dump, freshly excited for what caving trips might lie ahead of me. Perhaps a solo trip down Deaths Head, or a […]
