The SWCC went on an expedition to the Cantabrian mountain range in Northern Spain in 1997.

The purpose of the expedition was two-fold; firstly to do a through trip of Cueto-Covertosa, secondly to explore a part of Sierra del Hornijo looking for cave entrances, using GPS (Global Positioning by Satellite) units.

• An Introduction from Gary Vaughn explaining the reasons behind the Cantabrian expedition

• Andrew Dobson's Tale of two trips in one day

• Fred Levett's story of two SWCC Vice Presidents undertaking a 14Hr through trip
