Description

If Music be the Food of Love, Cave On

There’s cave-dedicated music beyond the obvious Hebrides Overture, if you know where to look. The problem is, the songs tend to be somewhat excruciating.

The Limestone Enchantress

When Bruce Sinclair won a holiday in the Descent Caption Competition he headed for the French Vercors. This is his tale, and an overview of the area to whet the appetite of other cavers wanting to drink beer in the sun between trips underground.

Fe, Phai, Ho, Hum

Join the team and Paul Callister for their triumphs in Vietnam: ‘Did it go?’ shouted Howard. ‘Yes’. ‘Was it big?’ ‘Yes’. ‘Is it still going?’ ‘Yes!’ I shouted triumphantly.

Then Came the Call

As a cave diver, Rob palmer was larger than life; he dreamed large, and made it happen. His books and accomplishments remain to remind us of the stories and the man who lost his life doing what he loved best. Here are tributes from his friends and colleagues to add to our memories.

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.
