So this would be the trip reports section – the most important historical record in the club. We're always looking for willing people to write up their experiences! Send reports to Mr Webmaster and have your name immortalised in the annals of QUBCC...

Archived Trip Info
Believe it or not we actually do go caving in places other than Ireland, some reports have been written up, some just have the original details from beforehand.
SCF 2010: the first forum to be held in County Leitrim!
I know I know, it's not really foreign. But there were some cavers from Australia! And besides, we organised it, so the page has to go somewhere.
OK this isn't the 'Official' page but I thought it would be good for everyone to get an idea of whats happening.
Yep, the official page for the next big trip is up and as expected its crap (not the trip the page), oh well.
At last it's here, well sort of. At least the trip report bits done. More to come but check this out. Drunken tales of sordid happenings in the Slovenian countryside.
OK no one wanted to write this one but here's a link to the report by UCD caving club, not sure if its still working they keep changing servers!
[unfortunately UCD seem to have lost this report now! Ed.]
