< p > The UBSS is the oldest of the existing British University caving
clubs. Most famous for its work in the caves of County Clare, and
also much involved in Mendip caving, the UBSS also venture further
afield.< / p >

< p > There has been a long history of UBSS guests and combined
expeditions. 1981, 1982 and 2011 have been formally billed as combined
expeditions, but many other years have have UBSS members along: 1977,
1980, 1999, 2000, 2007, 2010. In 2011, for the first time ever, the
expedition leader was (an UBSS member) based outside Cambridge. A few
long-term expogoers have been UBSS members: Steve Perry on the
earliest expeditions, and Andrew Atkinson in the 1990s/2000s, who
between tham have been on 16 of the 34 expeditions so far.< / p >
< p > There have also been a few independent UBSS visits, which occurred
in 1989, 1990 and 1992, and caused some political difficulties with
permissions from the Austrians at the time, not helped by the 1989
rescue when the chopper found the UBSS group on Augst-Eck before the
CUCC rescue site, at the Kaninchenhö le 161a entrance on the nearby Hinter.< / p >
< p > Relations with the Austrians have improved enormously since that low
point and everyone is now friends again. Future combined expeditions
are planned, including a return to the UBSS 1989-1992 area to properly
integrate and update that work.< / p >

few UBSS members staged independent expeditions to an area north of
2011-09-26 11:46:17 +01:00
the plateau. There were three trips (1989, 1990 and 1992).< / p >
2011-06-07 20:05:49 +01:00
< p > Approximately 30 sites were explored and described. These have been numbered as BS1 to BS30. The most significant find was BS17, Organhö hle, with a surveyed length of 850 m and depth of 303 m.
