<h1>Lancaster University Speleological Society</h1>
<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>
<p>LUSS have their <a href=
"http://www.es.lancs.ac.uk/luss/">own web pages</a>,
or may be contacted via their <a href=
"http://www.es.lancs.ac.uk/luss/contact.html">contact page</a>
or maybe directly through email. Their web page gives:<br /></p>

get a bounce from this address)</i></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>The descriptions included in our pages are taken (with
permission, for which our thanks) directly from their reports,
published in the UK:</p>

L.U.S.S.</cite> 24pp illus.<br /></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
from:</p>

Lancaster.<br />
United Kingdom</p>
<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>
