Description

Hidden Earth is Back
Hidden Earth has traditionally been the biggest annual gathering of cavers in the UK and, with no event held for four years, its return is something to celebrate. Chris Howes and Alan Jeffreys summarise this year’s event.

Underground Pains
Anna Taylor presents the results of an extensive survey she has carried out on the subject of menstruation among cavers.

BCRC in Norway
Cavers know they have to take their opportunities, so when a group from the British Cave Rescue Council was offered a trip to Norway, they could hardly refuse, as told by Brendan Sloan.

Subterranean Fishes of the World
Graham Proudlove gives a fascinating summary of the world’s underground fishes.

Drawing and Pumping: Underground Waterwheels
Ioan Lord tells the story of the discovery of two large, intact, underground waterwheels at an old lead mine in Ceredigion, mid-Wales.

The Descent Christmas Crossword
Martin Wright has put together another fiendishly difficult puzzle with a caving theme.

Is This a Record?

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.
