Description

Showcase

Golokratna Untouched

Peter Gedei’s Showcase feature presents stunning photographs shot during a single trip to a pristine cave.

Born in a Blizzard

With 50th anniversary celebrations prevailing, the Northern CC turns an inward eye to look at how the club was formed and what it has achieved.

Gear Review

Sawyer Water Filter

The Sawyer company takes a different tack to preparing clean, safe drinking water: instead of using chemicals, it relies on mechanical filtration.

Finding Thatcher’s Doom

A new cave has been opened in South Wales, culminating with a discovery on a very specific day.

A Return to Fairy Holes

The longest cave passage in the UK was once attributed to Fairy Holes in the Yorkshire Dales. With no visits permitted for over four decades, cavers have gained access once again.

The Birth of the RATs

First it was LADS and now it’s the RATs exploring a highly unstable, unpopular cave.

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
