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 - March 2026
The AGM brought the usual mix of democratic proceedings and fun reunions amongst friends. Bristol Caving and UBSS now have newly elected committees - congratulations to everyone who ran, and a sincere thank you to those who handed over the reins. Our local Burrington and the wider Mendip area has been the most popular destination this March! With exploring around our beloved hut, new and old and Aveline’s Hole - a place that reminds us that people have been drawn to these caves for an extraordinarily long time - and there’s still more to find out! And our favourite story from the month- a life-saving trip down Technical Masterpiece. Public Service Announcement, the frog is fine. The cavers should be proud.
