<h2>Austria 84 - Stop Press</h2></center>
<p>Since the Journal is so late this year, here's a brief report on CUCC's
latest activities.
<p>Steinschlagschacht bottomed at about 240m, with the rift suddenly becoming
too narrow to follow. Due to lack of enthusiasm it was not surveyed below
last year's limit. Wolfh&ouml;hle also stopped, at a sump, just after 400m,
but was surveyed. The Wolf, it seems, is actually a bear of some description.
We now anticipate a period of mindless recrimination while the name is
haggled over.
<p>The attempt to connect into the Stellerweg system from above (entrances
143 and 144) yielded an audible connection, in one direction at least, but is
too long to be hammered open.
<p>Some prospecting was done on the plateau, heading towards the Ht.
Schwarzmoos Kgl., which is getting a depressingly long way from the Car Park.
Maybe future expeditions will have to camp on the plateau.
<p>Apart from that, it rained rather a lot. The beer tent was decorated with
sweetcorn by the simple expedient of heating a can until it exploded. Some
biy scouts subsequently asked us not to let off fireworks in the middle of
the night. The landlady at the Staudnwirt also indicated that Meatloaf et al
at full blast tended to drown out the musak in the bar. Still, it was
discovered that it is possible to have a drunken bop for 4 people in the back
of a small Land Rover while doing 50 mph along the road to Grundlsee at 3 in
the morning.
<p>See <a href="../../../jnl/1985/index.htm">next years journal</a> for
the full sordid details!
