Best known for major explorations in the Picos de Europa of Northern Spain, it has a reputation for high quality (if infrequent) publication.

LUSS have their own web pages, -or may be contacted via their contact page -or maybe directly through email. Their web page gives:

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.

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.

The descriptions included in our pages are taken (with permission, for which our thanks) directly from their reports, published in the UK:

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.

Copies of these reports (if still in print) are available -from:

Lancaster University Speleological Society,

-34, Williamson Rd.
-Lancaster.
-United Kingdom

(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).

As they may 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. Stoppress: 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.

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.
