Description

Daydream Believer
Benarat – where the caves are so large that surveying instruments fail and explorers yell: ‘Keeeeep gooooinnnnnng!’

Man of Mines
We say farewell to Mendip digger, author and mine photographer John Cornwell.

Brits Abroad
As cavers once again plan their overseas expeditions, here is the low-down on who is going where.

Persistence Pays
Pay Sank, a recent discovery on Ingleborough, was connected to Grange Rigg Pot in November 2005. Here, Dave Haigh covers the history of their exploration, which begins in the lost days of the 1940s.

Gear Review
Firefly 3 Slave
The rise of digital cameras has been a blessing – and a curse. The Firefly 3 can take care of at least one problem, avoiding early flashgun misfires.

The Search for Loxton Cavern
Lost to man since the 18th century, Loxton Cavern on Mendip was rediscovered by Nicks Harding and Richards. Following a rich vein of history, we explore Catcott’s cave.

The End of an Era
After thirty years, the Stephen Nunwick Memorial Lecture series draws to a close.

Viewpoint: A Miner’s Lot
UK collieries are disappearing. One miner tells of his life underground and what he sees in the industry’s future.

No Hairy Oiks Allowed
The Sport for All editorial in Descent (188) drew a range of comments – here’s the follow-up.

The Descent Caption Competition
With the largest number of prizes ever given away by Descent, here are the three winners and ten runners-up that made us laugh the most.

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.
