Lancaster, within very easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales. Hence it
has become one of the more active clubs over the years, with young
became 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>

<p>LUSS unfortunately became defunct in the early 2000s, possibly
a victim of the university union changes which finished off quite a few
student caving clubs around then and
caused CHECC (Council of Higher Education Caving Clubs) to form. </p>
<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>

<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>
<p>Copies of these reports (if still in print) are available

<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>
<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&amp;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.</p>
<p>As they are no longer available we will try and put copies on this website, to supplement the descriptions of caves in 1623,
and the more significant ones in 1626.</p>
