CUCC Expo Prospecting Handbook

Marked and known caves

These are the caves that CUCC believe to be correctly marked, and which we know where to find.

Warning: This document has not been updated for some time (apparently not since 1999, certainly not since 2001). Do not rely on it!

In the table (and the cave descriptions), bearings are quoted with a series of standard abbreviations for landmarks, which gives a good indication of which ones are most useful.
