Description

The Fantoms of Fountains Fell

The pipes lay on the heather like monstrous pulsating worms, spewing out water from leaking joints, but enabling more exploration to be carried out. Here at last is the true story of how the 1950s Gingling Hole Extensions were made, as told Jim Eyre style.

Shag Cliff and Smuggler’s Hole

An area that’s geologically ‘wrong’ for caves, yet one that produced an enjoyable study and a number of new sites.

Memories of Other Times

Some British and Bahamian humour and history here, as we say goodbye to George, Squeak and Lukewarm.

Crypts, Caves & Catacombs

Do you know what was made in Peak Cavern? You’re only four questions away from winning a book, plus here’s the solutions and lucky winner of the last Descent Quiz.

Down and Out in Thailand

In a back corner there was a small hole. ‘Can’t be bothered,’ I thought. Then I realised that the steam from my sweat-covered T-shirt was speeding away, horizontally. It was draughting!

Cover: An imaginary SRT situation drawn with pastels. Artwork: Mark ‘Gonzo’ Lumley

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR EU CUSTOMERS

On 1 July 2021 the EU removed all exemptions for tax and customs duty on low-value items posted from the UK to the EU, meaning that although VAT is 0% on books and magazines in the UK, it is charged within the EU and the VAT (potentially plus a handling fee) now applies to all orders to the EU.

All small publishers in the UK are now in the same position – we are unable to post any items to the EU with VAT or other duties paid.

When ordering any item from Stalactite Publishing, including a Descent subscription, you accept responsibility for paying the VAT and any other local charges on delivery.

Stalactite Publishing is not able to cover any charges levied by your country; it is your responsibility to accept these when placing an order.

We apologise for this situation, but please understand that it is outside our control.
