<h1>Stellerwegh&ouml;hlen system History</h1>
<p>This history file is really intended to be a clickable index to
all the various trips write ups in the log books (ie. just CUCC trips)
for the whole of the Stellerweg system (ie. 41, 115, 142, 144 and also 143).
It is currently incomplete because the two logbooks detailing the earliest
explorations are missing.

<p>trip list reconstructed from Journal report and personal log book entries
- some dates are by correlation with trips in other caves. Note that the link
to the 1980 logbook is not very useful, as the logbook is missing and there
is just some dummy info in the file. This also is why there are no other
links to trips in 1980.

<h3><a name="1981">1981</a></h3>
A 1981 trip list is pretty much impossible to reconstruct because of the
non-narrative nature of the published reports and the absence of the log
book. Stellerweg took "about a week" to rig to the previous limit, whilst
115 was rigged in one day. Several trips pushed into the depths via the
Purgatory from 115, and there were a number of 41/115 through trips.
Derigging 115 was done in three waves.

<h3>1980-1996</h3>
<p>A large amount of exploration in <span lang="de">Schwabenschacht</span>
carried on in the interregnum by our friends from
<span lang="de">Stuttgart</span> - connecting to 142 near head of Big Chamber
pitch in May 1996.

Wookey, <span lang="de">Thilo,</span> (5 hrs) ... Surveying connection from 78 to 142
<h3>Post-1996</h3>
<p>A considerable amount of resurvey work has been carried out in the system
by our friends from <span lang="de">Stuttgart</span>, along with quite a bit of new exploration. This culminated in the discovery of some huge trunk
passage completely overlooked by CUCC in 1981/2, which promises to produce a
new low-level entrance in 2000 or 2001. This is a continuing project
typically involving several short expeditions each year. CUCC liaises with
Arge, and there is a healthy exchange of survey data. However - we don't
yet document their finds on the site - it is hoped to provide English
translations of the cave descriptions some time, but it's unlikely we'll
ever list all the trips which explored the cave.
