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.
The latest edition of our journal, the Proceedings of the University of Bristol Spelaeological Society was published on December 1st 2025. Paper copies will be posted out as soon as possible. It contains papers on Mendip caves, 3D surveying at Creswell and surveying in Ireland. All details can be found by going to the ‘Publications’ pages on this site.
