Description

THIS EDITION IS PRINTED ON CARBON-BALANCED PAPER, A RENEWABLE RESOURCE

With eight extra pages

Marginal Gains

Sometimes, even major planning for exploration yields little results, except for a  personal sense of achievement.

Competition Time

If you were puzzled by our puzzle or in a quandry over our questions in Descent (283), here are the answers and the winners.

The Smithy Rescue

A serious accident in Ogof Ffynnon Ddu led to a massive rescue that involved hundreds of cavers and created a media storm. Our major coverage is written by cavers, for cavers.

The Right to Cave

BCA’s campaign to gain the right to go caving on open access land has achieved a significant advance.

The Stinky Era

It’s 75 years since Lancaster Hole was first entered, so it seemed time to undertake a commemorative through-trip.

The Caves, the Karst and a Conflict

Cave conservation versus quarrying … we know which usually wins. Ray Deasy documents a historically important conflict.

Tragedy in Panama

Three people have died during a guided adventure tour into a Panamanian cave, but what caused this tragedy?

The Antipodean Caver

It’s time for something lighthearted, with a new take on how caves might be explored by those from down under.

More Memories

‘Caving changed my life’ – a sentimental statement, but nevertheless a true one for Buckett.

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
