Description

Carno’s Secret

Carno Adit has long held the attention of its devotees. Now, this 3km long tunnel – which has been dig since 1982 – has seen a major breakthrough and the discovery of several kilometres of passage. Here is the history of this site in South Wales, along with the exploration excitement.

Scrapes, Breaks and Bruises

First aid is something we should all be trained in, given the rigours of our sport. How does a PADI Medic First Aid course stack up, given its attention on diving.

Gouffre Berger Revisited

What’s so special about the Berger anyway? A classic French system, okay. A Mecca for cavers, perhaps. But on this occasion, it was an expedition with Jean Cadoux involved.

On a Plateau in Turkestan

Jim Birchall continues his survey of the major caving regions of the USSR with an account of a visit to Soviet Central Asia, one of vast caving potential that has seen several British expeditions.

Overhang

The order book is of paramount importance to every business, and mining companies are no exception. How did a slate mine in Mid Wales overcome the difficulties of overhanging, unstable rock in its struggle for survival?

Gear Review

Firefly Slave Unit

A commercially available infra-red slave unit for cave photography has at last appeared on the market.

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.
