<h1>University of Bristol Speleological Society</h1>
<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>Steve Perry (once dubbed "the fittest man on Mendip") was a CUCC
member with UBSS connections, who was on the 1977 expedition. Other
UBSS members first joined CUCC's Austria expedition as guests in
1980, and UBSS was a "guest club" on the CUCC expedition in both
1981 and 1982, after which their involvement declined. The work
done by UBSS members was written up in the prestigious Proceedings
of UBSS.</p>

<p>Unknown to CUCC a
few UBSS members staged independent expeditions to an area north of
the plateau. There were three trips (1989, 1990 and 1992).
Very much to CUCCs embarassment, in 1989, when an "English group camped on Augst-Eck" were found by the
helicopter during Becka's rescue. This did not help an already delicate political situation.</p>
<p>Approximately 30 sites were explored and described. These have been numbered as BS1 to BS30. The most significant find was BS17, Organh&ouml;hle, with a surveyed length of 850 m and depth of 303 m.
The full accounts of these expeditions can be found in the following two papers: </p>
