|
<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. Wolfhöhle 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.

|
