CAVING CALENDAR AND MEETS LIST In Oxlow Caverns

The Club maintains an events and meets list and is happy for non-members to attend some of the meets as long as they let the organiser know in advance.  On this page, you can ask to see different types of underground events.  Some are private to the Club members and will not be shown but members can read them HERE.  Where possible, we will provide a contact point for enquiries about the event.

Any general enquiries about events can be sent to Meets-sec at DerbysCC.org.uk.

If you want to look particularly at club events, have a look at the club events page or for Alderley events see the Alderley events list.  Tick this box to see past events:

558 Saturday 22/03/2025 Deep Ecton Mine Trip Helen Perkins
Deep Ecton mine, has been mined since the Bronze Age, and in the 18th century was a major producer of copper, and the deepest mine in Britain. Trip is a fairly easy one and barring exceptionally wet weather wellies will keep feet dry. No crawling but a climb up the ladderway from deep Ecton to Slats level is an option. Trip usually takes about 2.5 hours. The mine is only a little grubby and I normally do not bother with an oversuit. I would suggest meeting in the layby at 10.00 with a view to going underground by 10.30. ** All attendees complete an indemnity form (see attached) and make a £10 donation to go towards upkeep ** ***Party limited to 12 visitors with BCA insurance*** View
