Dear SEC Members
Our efforts to bring the club to new lows are
well underway.
So far there are 6 SEC members, one Zim climber
and one Canadian caver on the team. We have Hilti sponsoring the drills and
fasteners, and we are hiring solar panels etc. to charge the batteries.
The plan is to drive straight to Chimanimani,
with a pleasant interlude at Beit Bridge. Thereafter we expect to be warmly
welcomed by the local police from time to time.
It is a 2 day hike up to Turret Towers and we
will be spending 12 days up the mountain camping in a remote and stunning area,
see www.turrettowerscaves.com.
Our main objective is to find and
survey new caves in the area, as well as descend Mawenge Mawena(305m), get to
rock bottom and start digging.
Any SEC members wishing to join still, let me
know immediately. The cost is approximately R3 000 per person plus transport and
food. You will need camping gear, caving gear and your passport. An
important thing to pack is your great sense of humour as this trip promises to
be challenging!
Dates: 7 – 24 August 2016.
Cheers
John Dickie
