In 2009 we began trialling  a new piece of software known as Troggle,

written by expedition  members, which aims to keep an accurate record

of the various cave  surveys, descriptions, measurements, logbook

entries and databases  of open leads that are produced during each

expedition.  In the past three years the system has greatly aided us

in being able to efficiently retrieve information from the past thirty
 
−
years of exploration.

CUCC strives to encourage new cavers and cavers who haven't been on
 
−
expeditions before to go to Austria. In recent years we have welcomed
 
−
students from Cambridge University, Leeds, Durham and Bristol, and non
 
−
students from various UK clubs. The more experienced members provide
 
−
suitable training in surveying, prospecting, exploration rigging and
 
−
more. We have a strong record in training cavers who have gone on to
 
−
make major contributions to other cave expeditions, for example,
 
−
recently in China and Antarctica.'

Expo 2012

This section of the wiki is just a tool to help get expo 2012 preparation done in a coordinated fashion.

Once the tasks and discussions below become more concrete they will be transferred to the main Expo website so that the expo website remains up to date.

Things that need Attention

Mission Statement

The Schwarzmooskogel system is the most extensive cave system below the Loser Plateau, that, if connected, would bring up a total length of around 100 km and a depth of over 1 km. Of this CUCC has contributed by surveying over 65 km.

In 2011 a breakthrough was made by connecting Tunnockschacht (258) with Steinbrückenhöhle (204), creating a system of the combined length of 28 km. The main aim of this year's expedition will be to connect Kaninchenhöhle (161), which is part of the Schwarzmooskogel system, to the Tunnockschacht-Steinbrückenhöhle system (258/204), which will create a combined system exceeding 90 km.

During the 2009/2011 expeditions, CUCC returned to the furthest reaches of the northern part of Kaninchenhöhle, replaced permanent rigging and continued surveying where the original exploration had left off in the 1990s. This area is now within 45 m of the 258/204 system. The description of the cave from both sides, leads us to assume that a connection should possible during this coming expedition.

There will be three further proposed objectives of the expedition. We will return to the north reaches of 258 to extend the system in uncharted territory which is likely to yield high returns, as it currently lies empty on the map. The area to south of the current exploration hotspot is another promising land, currently devoid of a large system: we will return to Marylin Monroe Höhle (148) and Eislufthöhle (76), which lie some distance away from the current southernmost explored front of the 204/258/161 area. Furthermore we will return to Hauchhöhle (234), which lies between the likely connection area of 204/258 and 161.

Expo dates are 27 July - 02 September (5 weeks). A preliminary list of available dates & people can be found at [1] and this year's Who and When is now live as well.
