Spelæological Society
The UBSS has been delving the depths of the subterranean world for over 100 years, and has a membership to reflect this. From the regular adventures into the underground playgrounds of the UK and abroad, to cave exploration and surveying at home, in many parts of Ireland, and in more far flung places like Romania or Thailand, to impending fame and fortune in the form of UBSS digs, photography, drunken table/pub/person traversing, archaeology, cave science, and huge bonfire parties at the Hut: UBSS members do them all.
UBSS Online Newsletter - April 2025
In this issue of the Newsletter, Hon President Elaine Oliver has set an extremely high bar for being Well ‘Ard and draws parallels between running across the Sahara and caving expos. She’s also demonstrated the most extreme example of the expression ‘mission creep’ we’ve ever seen. And the moral of that story is clear … don’t let Imogen convince you to go running with her, as you never know where you might end up! There’s also the tale of a surprisingly faff-free trip to Yorkshire involving 19 members from all over the country and a vast amount of goulash.
