<p>In the summer of 2005, Cambridge University Caving Club is off to Austria for the 29th time on its annual summer expedition. As ever, there are many promising unexplored cave areas remaining, less major side passages to be ticked, and uncountably many caves waiting to be found. This document introduces the major work areas and the current state of exploration, and lists several specific projects on which it is hoped effort will be expended. Note that numbers given by cave names are those of the <a href="../../indxal.htm">Austrian Kataster for our area</a>.</p>
<h4>General</h4>
<p>For nearly thirty years CUCC has worked on exploring the Loser plateau, a vast expanse of limestone riddled with caves in the Totes Gebirge area of the Austrian Alps, roughly 80km ESE of Salzburg. Over this time CUCC has explored such notable caves as <a href="../../1623/161/161.html">Kaninchenh&ouml;hle (161)</a>, <a href="../../1623/41/41.htm">Stellerwegh&ouml;hle (41)</a> and <a href="../../1623/40/cucc.htm">Schwarzmooskogel Eish&ouml;hle (40)</a>, caves now connected to form a system 56km long and over a kilometre deep; more than half of this length was contributed by CUCC.</p>
