Matienzo '99
Cave exploration around Matienzo during Easter and Whit 1999The Matienzo explorers enjoyed summer weather for most of the time at Easter and
were able to add a large number of new sites to the list. Underground, the highlights of
exploration were in the Four Valleys System where 250m of west-east passage in Carcavueso
/ Llueva (sites 0081 and 0107) was surveyed and site 1332 where exciting prospects were
opened up to normal sized cavers and a 25m pitch awaits exploration. Another 260m passage
was surveyed in Peñajorao.
As usual we were welcomed by Pablo at Bar German and the expedition is grateful for the
camping facilities and the use of the restaurant for computing and drawing up.
The list below shows links to those sites which were extended or newly discovered over
Easter and Whit, or which have had surveys updated or entrance photos added. Summer
explorations can be found here.
