Description

Derek Lamebrain

A tribute to Derek

Ban-y-Gor

Wetsuits create too much friction to be worn in this Grade 5 cave. Rescye problems are much worse than the entrance series of that pleasant place, Daren Cilau. So what’s going on down Ban-y-Gor?

To Fermanagh by Pantechnicon

Len Cook continues his caving, 1950s style, with a Craven PC trip to Ireland and the exploration of Pollaraftara.

A Trip to Lava Land

It’s off to the USA, where ascenders fetch $410 a pair!

Caucasian Caves and a Dormouse

Mix a dormouse in a can with a Russian policeman at a station, and you’ve got problems.

Fluffies at the Fair

The Cavers’ Fair for 1993.

The Nature of the Beast

Ever wondered why you go caving? So has Iain Barker.

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.
