Description

Electronic Aids in caving

As electronics impinge more and more into caving, here is a review of what GPS receivers and palm-top computers offer in the field.

In Casteret’s Footsteps

‘We entered a large chamber with walls of pure crystal and its once white floor flat as a still pool. On this ‘lake’ of calcite sailed galleons of rock and we wandered round like children in fairyland.’ Join Len Cook for another of his tales of caving in the 1950s.

A Yorkshireman in the Rockies

Caving is a very different experience 1,500m up in the Rockies at minus 30 degrees. Here is the first ‘Letter from BC’ from Yorkshireman Clive Keen.

A Congressional Hearing

The twelfth UIS International Congress was held in Switzerland in August. If you weren’t able to attend, this is what you missed.

The Twang Cave Extensions

Twang Cave in Dentdale was first explored in December 1995. Now, the sump blockage has been bypassed to more than double the cave’s length.

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.
