<h1>Lancaster University Speleological Society</h1>
|
|
<p>LUSS, and its graduate offspring, the <a href="http://www.es.lancs.ac.uk/luss/slugs/">Society of Lancaster
|
|
University Graduate Speleologists (SLUGS)</a>, was based on campus in
|
|
Lancaster, within very easy reach of the Yorkshire Dales. Hence it
|
|
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>LUSS has now been reborn: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1933676873324193">LUSS on Facebook</a>.
|
|
<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.</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>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>
