<p>LUSS, and its graduate offspring, the Society of Lancaster University
|
|
|
|
|
Graduate Speleologists (SLUGS), is based on campus in Lancaster, within very
|
|
|
|
|
easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales. Hence it has become one of the more
|
|
|
|
|
active clubs over the years, with young cavers trained on weekends in
|
|
|
|
|
Yorkshire travelling further afield each summer. Best known for major
|
|
|
|
|
explorations in the Picos de Europa of Northern Spain, it has a reputation
|
|
|
|
|
for high quality (if infrequent) publication.

<p>Lancaster University Speleological Society worked in an area out to the
|
|
|
|
|
north of CUCC's home turf, between Wildensee, Hohes Augst-Eck and Gr.
|
|
|
|
|
Scheibling Kogel, on three expeditions in 1987, 1988 and 1989. Some of the
|
|
|
|
|
caves they explored lie within the 1623 area, although the boundaries
|
|
|
|
|
between areas are not very well-defined hereabouts.

|
<p>I only have an incomplete pre-publication report from 1989 (the full
|
|
|
|
|
report was never published), which means that there is no description of the
|
|
|
|
|
1989 extensions to LA11 in these pages.

<p>(note that the Bailrigg campus Pigeon Holes address, given in many

LUSS publications and in old versions of this page, is now unlikely to reach

the Society).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>As they <i>may</i> still be in print, these reports are not in our web
|
|
|
|
|
pages at present, though the descriptions of caves in 1623, and the more
|
|
|
|
|
significant ones in 1626 are. <b>Stoppress</b>: from 1999, some of this
|
|
|
|
|
material is appearing on the LUSS website (see link above). Expect the
|
|
|
|
|
C&C 38 article to appear shortly, but currently the link in LUSS's own
|
|
|
|
|
index page is broken, so I don't know the URL.
