The <a href="http://web.ukonline.co.uk/john/index.htm">Bristol Exploration
|
||
|
|
Club</a> is one of the "elder clubs" of Mendip. They foster their own
|
||
|
|
reputation for worldwide expeditions by their slogan "The BEC gets
|
||
|
|
everywhere" seen on stickers in the most unlikely places :-). They certainly
|
||
|
|
visited the Totes Gebirge of Austria well before expeditionary caving abroad
|
||
|
|
became commonplace.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>From 1965 to 1969, the BEC held expeditions to Austria, in the first
|
||
|
|
couple of years working with the Austrians in Raucherkarhöhle, then
|
||
|
|
later doing much work in the already known cave of
|
||
|
|
<a href="../../noinfo/1626/50.htm">Ahnenschacht</a>, on the slopes of
|
||
|
|
Schönberg, in the north of the western massif of the Totes Gebirge. This
|
||
|
|
is now a very major system, but even in 1967, it was a very serious
|
||
|
|
proposition, being remote, and with a very deep entrance shaft, which became
|
||
|
|
epic in the wet, especially when tackled on ladders, as was the way in those
|
||
|
|
days.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The BEC's explorations were reported in a series of articles in their
|
||
|
|
frequent (then monthly) newsletter the <b>Belfry Bulletin</b>, as well as
|
||
|
|
in other more widely available journals. Not all references in this list
|
||
|
|
have CTS numbers, as most are too early, and nobody seems inclined to
|
||
|
|
produce retrospective CTS volumes.
