<title>1623 and 1626: LUSS Reports</title>
</head>
<body>
<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>LUSS have their
<a href="http://www.ednet.lancs.ac.uk/luss/index.html">
own web pages</a>, or may be contacted via their
<a href="http://www.ednet.lancs.ac.uk/luss/contact.html">contact page</a>
or maybe directly through email. Their web page gives:<br>

<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>The descriptions included in our pages are taken (with permission, for
which our thanks) directly from their reports, published in the UK:
<p><cite><b>CTS 88.1467</b> <a href="http://www.ednet.lancs.ac.uk/luss/Exploration/Austria/are87.html">Austria Reconnaissance Expedition 1987</a>,
Lancaster University Speleological Society</cite><br>
<cite><b>CTS 89.1866</b> Dead Mountains Expedition 1988, L.U.S.S.</cite> 24pp illus.<br>
<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>Copies of these reports (if still in print) are available from:
<p>Lancaster University Speleological Society,<br>
c/o Neil Turton,<br>
34, Williamson Rd.<br>
Lancaster.<br>
United Kingdom
<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&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.
