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.
Take Care in Lionel's Hole
The Council of Southern Caving Clubs (CSCC) have issued the warning below regarding Lionel’s Hole, Burrington. Please avoid this area and don’t attempt the round trip until futher inspections have taken place.
A large boulder and slab very recently moved in the duck bypass route, very nearly crushing a caver against the wall. This is at the end of the crawl where it joins the rift that has the chocked Sandwich boulder/slab at the top. The boulder that moved is sitting on a small rock on the gravel floor and could potentially move again and someone else may not be so lucky.
