The new blood of the YSS have now decided to have crack at the big one and through Rob Dalby the ball was set rolling to descend the Berger in 2006.
It seemed logical to have a leader who had been before so Colin Gray was volunteered out of retirement to do what he had done three times before and organise the expedition.
The first job was to apply for a permit which on the last three occasions Colin has used the services of an old friend and ex member of the YSS, Mick Jordan, who lives and works in Paris. It looks like we should be OK for the first two weeks in August 2006,which will be confirmed on the 2 Nov this year. (we owe a big thank you to Mick who was incidentally at the 40th. reunion).
The trip is now definitely on and bookings are now being taken with over 30 already signed up.
Costs are likely to be (before any money that may possibly be donated by the YSS is taken into consideration)
YSS transport not caving ---- £160
YSS transport and caving --- £220
Caving only ---- £ 60
Discounts will be available on personal equipment
Anyone interested just contact Colin on this Website.
It is not intended to use this page for further updates, i.e. Discount lists, Berger meets at the YSS hut at Helwith Bridge, or training meets etc. as these will be dealt with in the YSS monthly newsletter and also announced in the meets list section of this website.
There will be an upper limit on numbers.
