<h1>CUCC Austria Expeditions: Introduction</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>For well over two decades, Cambridge University Caving Club, CUCC, have
|
||||
explored caves on the <span lang="de-at">Loser</span> Plateau, about 80 km
|
||||
east of <span lang="de-at">Salzburg</span> in Austria. These WWW pages (over
|
||||
800 pages and over 700 images) contain much of the documentation from the

explored caves on the <span lang="de-at">Loser</span> Plateau, about 80 km east
|
||||
of <span lang="de-at">Salzburg</span> in Austria. These WWW pages (over 800
|
||||
pages and over 700 images) contain much of the documentation from the
|
||||
exploration of these annual expeditions.</b></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The next expedition runs this year from 10th July to 14th August. See
|
||||
<a href="years/2004/index.html">here</a> for more details.</p>
|
||||
<p>The next expedition runs next summer, probably mid-July to mid-August; it is
|
||||
still at the earliest planning stage. More details will appear when
|
||||
available.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>For those coming on an Austria expedition for the first time, this
|
||||
great bulk of material can seem a little overwhelming. However, it's
|
||||
important for people to have some idea of what they are coming to, in
|
||||
order that they can get the most out of expo. It is probably worth
|
||||
starting with the <a href="primer.htm">Expedition Primer</a> - a document
|
||||
intended specifically for new expo members, and leading to some of the more
|
||||
important pages which you should read.</p>
