|

|

|
|
|
|
<p>The <acronym lang="fr">GSAB</acronym> was (I believe, and if anyone knows
|
|
|
|
|
different then I'd love to hear from them) an umbrella organisation for club
|
|
|
|
|
cavers in Belgium visiting deep and serious caving areas in the 1970's. It
|
|
|
|
|
would appear to have evolved from a group <span lang="fr">"Les Gours"</span>,
|
|
|
|
|
part of the <span lang="fr">Club d'Archaeologie, de Spéléologie
|
|
|
|
|
et d'Escalade de Huy-Andenne (<acronym>CASE-HA</acronym>)</span>, though this
|
|
|
|
|
is conjecture based on the fact that the journal of
|
|
|
|
|
<span lang="fr">Les Gours</span> had the same name,
|
|
|
|
|
"<span lang="fr">Spéalp</span>", as the later journal of
|
|
|
|
|
<acronym lang="fr">GSAB</acronym>, and from an odd reference to
|
|
|
|
|
'<span lang="fr"><acronym>GSAB</acronym> "Les Gours"</span>' in a later
|
|
|
|
|
journal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Members of these groups, and associated club cavers, visited the north of
|
|
|
|
|
the western massif of the <span lang="de">Totes Gebirge</span> every summer
|
|
|
|
|
(sometimes apparently on more than one trip) from 1972 to 1978. At least one
|
|
|
|
|
of these trips was an international expedition, and others seem also to have
|
|
|
|
|
worked with various French groups. Much of the work was apparently reported
|
|
|
|
|
in various club journals, but there are also a series of good reports in both
|
|
|
|
|
of the journals <span lang="fr">Spéalp</span>. These are now quite
|
|
|
|
|
hard to obtain (since the group no longer exists), but we found that the
|
|
|
|
|
librarian of the <span lang="fr">Féderation Belgique de
|
|
|
|
|
Spéléologie</span> was one of the world's most helpful people,
|
|
|
|
|
and he photocopied the relevant articles from the later <acronym
|
|
|
|
|
lang="fr">GSAB</acronym> publications for us for free, for which go many
|
|
|
|
|
thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
<p>Included in these pages are English translations (by Andy Waddington and
|
|
|
|
|
Jill Gates) of articles from <span lang="fr"><acronym>GSAB</acronym>
|
|
|
|
|
Spéalp</span> 1, 2 and 3. If you can read French, I reccommend getting
|
|
|
|
|
hold of copies of the original journals, as the diagrams are quite helpful to
|
|
|
|
|
understanding some of the explanations !
