The Pwll-y-Cwm Connection

Digging underwater … ‘Back in the choke frantic dredging of the floor gave another couple of inches of space. Edging forwards, my head went through. Then, suddenly, like a cork out of a bottle, the rest of me followed … but I couldn’t find a line to the surface!’

Ibbeth’s Upstream Downstream

The entrance to Dentdale’s Ibbeth Peril Cave II had been blocked by gravel for 14 years when local cavers decided to dig it out. But, once inside, they forgot to stop until the link with Ibbeth I had been made. Here’s how they did it.

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.
