Description

The Rescues of 2001

It was a quiet year for the British cave rescue teams, but there’s still plenty to learn by reading what went wrong.

Aven Climbing in Carno

They thought it would be an easy, fast climb. Only one bolt, they thought. How wrong can you be – and not only wrong, but trapped by floodwater to boot!

So How Did You Start Caving?

Alan Jeffreys returns with another in his occasional series, The Bottom Line.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

As cavers, we do our best to protect our underground heritage from the ravages of pollution and overuse, but what of showcaves? Are they education resources that help the public to understand the beauty of caves, or a blight on the environment?

The Descent Caption Competition

A new competition kicks off this month, with a stack of Otter Boxes as a prize.

It’s Sedimentary, My Dear Warren

With ‘polluted’ water entering a farmer’s storage tank, it’s a chance for caving technology and techniques to clean up on Birks Fell.

Being the Very Best of Friends

On 5 April the caving world lost Dave Yeandle in a paragliding accident. Fellow cave diver Geoff Yeadon tells some of the many tales gleaned from the life of the man they call Pooh.

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.
