<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>
