The days are numbered: you don’t have long to enter this latest Caption Competition with a superb Nite diving watch as a prize.

Deep Under Leck Fell:

The Dig into Shuttleworth Pot

It started with a diving discovery, then came the science and finally the dig. In the first of two articles concentrating on the ongoing exploration of Leck Fell, we report a successful entry into Witches II via a new entrance, Shuttleworth Pot.

From Stroganoff’s to Cupcakes

Notts II, while keeping its secrets close, is seeing plenty of activity. Digging towards Lost John’s and the Three Counties link continues, but nearby the wonderfully named Count Lazlo Strogonoff’s Aven has been incrementally pushed and now another new entrance on Leck Fell is imminent.

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.Â
