The Red Rose Cave & Pothole Club was formed in 1946 and was based around the town of Lancaster in the North of England. Since then it has become one of the country's leading caving clubs with a growing membership of nearly 200 living all over Britain, as well as a number of overseas members.

Membership is open to anyone over 16 provided they are proposed and seconded by Club members. Prospective members are always welcome at Bull Pot Farm. Why not pop in at the Farm one weekend to meet us. For further information on membership see the 'How to Join' link or contact the secretary.

The RRCPC holds regular caving meets at weekends and organises expeditions to other caving regions in Britain and abroad. In the summer of 1996, 1998, 2000 and 2002, for example the Club went caving in Sardinia, Spain, the French Pyrennees, China and Crete respectively. As well as the normal club meets there is a wide cross section of members interested in all aspects of caving.

Most of our activities are based around Bull Pot Farm near Kirkby Lonsdale, Cumbria. This remote farmhouse acts as the Club's headquarters and members are present most weekends. The Farm is available for booking by visiting groups or clubs.

The Farm is located above Ease Gill Caverns, Britain's longest cave system with over 80 Km of passages and the Red Rose has always been actively involved with the continued exploration of this cave system. At present the whole system is being resurveyed and the data put on to computer.
