<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>There has been a long history of UBSS guests and combined
|
|
expeditions. 1981, 1982 and 2011 have been formally billed as combined
|
|
expeditions, but many other years have have UBSS members along: 1977,
|
|
1980, 1999, 2000, 2007, 2010. In 2011, for the first time ever, the
|
|
expedition leader was (an UBSS member) based outside Cambridge. A few
|
|
long-term expogoers have been UBSS members: Steve Perry on the
|
|
earliest expeditions, and Andrew Atkinson in the 1990s/2000s, who
|
|
between tham have been on 16 of the 34 expeditions so far.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There have also been a few independent UBSS visits, which occurred
|
|
in 1989, 1990 and 1992, and caused some political difficulties with
|
|
permissions from the Austrians at the time, not helped by the 1989
|
|
rescue when the chopper found the UBSS group on Augst-Eck before the
|
|
CUCC rescue site, at the Kaninchenhöle 161a entrance on the nearby Hinter.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Relations with the Austrians have improved enormously since that low
|
|
point and everyone is now friends again. Future combined expeditions
|
|
are planned, including a return to the UBSS 1989-1992 area to properly
|
|
integrate and update that work.</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).</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.
