All these trips have only been
possible through the ongoing partnership between the

British China Caves Project
(founded by Andy Eavis) and the
Guilin Institute of Karst Geology

that has been forged by nearly 25 years of exploration.

 

 


China arguably has the most spectacular karst scenery in the world and beneath this lies a plethora of unexplored cave passage, mammoth chambers and large underground rivers. Not surprisingly, this natural wealth continues to attract growing numbers of explorers from around the world.



Expedition dates: 19 October to 14 November 2009

HUANJIANG
2009

The Huanjiang 2009 Expedition will be exploring caves in Huanjiang County, Guangxi Province. We hope to map and find new passage in the surrounding hills and within the region's many underground river systems.

This area of Huanjiang has not been the focus of any previous caving expedition

 

This will be the eighth time that members of the Yorkshire Ramblers Club have ventured to China in recent years to make make joint exploration with Chinese cavers. Although the 2000 expedition was exclusively a YRC trip to mark the millennium, subsequent trips have been supported by members of the following UK clubs: Wolverhampton Caving Group, Gloucester Speleological Society, Scarborough Caving Club, Craven Pothole Club and on our latest trip, the Earby Caving Club. The ranks have been further swelled by cavers from France, Switzerland, Tazmania and most recently Hungary.
