Welcome to the University of Bristol Spelæological (Caving) Society

The UBSS has been delving the depths of the subterranean world for over 80 years, and has a membership to reflect this - from the new students that join every year, right up to those that were around when it all began. Consequently the range of activities that go on, caving and otherwise, is vast. From the regular adventures into the underground playgrounds of the UK and abroad, to cave exploration and surveying at home, in County Clare, Ireland, as well as more far flung places like Romania or Thailand, to impending fame and fortune in the form of the good old UBSS digs, photography, drunken table/pub/person traversing, archaeology, cave science, huge bonfire parties at the UBSS hut, and mammoth beer drinking sessions: UBSS members do them all.

Members living in Bristol meet weekly at the Red Lion pub on Tuesday evenings at 9.30pm. This is the place to come if you want to find out more about caving or the UBSS, or you want to come on any trips. Most informal trips are only organised in the pub, so if you want to cave you need to come along. Large, club organised, events, which usually happen every fortnight during term time, will be listed on the events diary page, and emails about them will be sent out nearer the time. If you are new to caving have a look at the fresher's guide.
