Description
Yet More in Cussey
The Peak District’s Cussey Pot, where a major breakthrough was reported in Descent (277), continues to reveal its secrets.
Seven-eighths of a Hole
Placing hangers in Broken Finger Pot proved more of a challenge than was at first anticipated.
The Ultimate Cave Tour
Taking a commercial tour of the caves of Vietnam, including the immense Hang Son Doong, has yielded some superb images to Martyn Farr’s camera.
Gaining Depth Through Megzit
Ogof Ffynnon Ddu is not only the deepest cave in the UK, it still hides remote passages within its heights … and has become a little bit deeper still.
The Kilnsey Enigma
A dig in Kilnsey Crag has fascinated cavers for years; Steve Warren looks at how the secrets are starting to unravel.
A Caver for Life
Another of our community has departed, with the speleohistory of Swildon’s Hole strongly recorded within this tribute to Len Dawes.
Decrypted Cavers
If you found the Cryptic Cavers crossword in the previous issue too, well, cryptic, we have the answers for you (and the winner).
Pilgrims in Lockdown
A lockdown, it transpires, cannot get determined cavers down … but it can keep them underground, digging and digging away.
Write it Down!
Nostalgia
John Gillett’s memories have been triggered by an obituary in Descent (276) – nostalgia has the ability to keep much alive.

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
