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.
