YEAR BY YEAR
1998...
CLUBLIFE
- The club is still
financially healthy, counts 25 to 30 members, and the
teamspirit is still (after all these years), stronger than
ever.
- Again we total around 100
activities in Belgium, and visit 15 foreign caves.
BELGIUM
- The whole year around we
continue exploring the "Bois de Waerimont": surveying,
exploration, pictures, video etc. We find an additional 500
metres of galleries, of whom some are extremely beautiful (Salle
Zen).
- In the "Grotte
Pr?istorique" we discover the Salle Brocolli.
FOREIGN
CAVING
- Again a few long weekends
in the french Doubs (Paradis, Mont-Ratey etc.) and we also stay
10 days in the Causses. The weather is awful (rain and
snow) but nevertheless we still go caving every day (Patates,
Puech Negre, etc..)
- In the Vaucluse department
we bottom the 600 m deep Aven Autran.
- Some members go caving to
Jamaica.
- The rest of the club
continues the explorations in the Pierre-St-Martin area. Of
course, our main goal is the AN506 (Pozo de los Ninos) where we
go down that gigantic shaft ("the Monster") that turns
out to be one, 259 metres deep vertical drop! The cave is
-410m. deep and then suddenly ends... |
