<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, Organhöhle, with a surveyed length of 850 m and depth of 303 m.
|
|
|
|
