Description

Tales of a Vietnam Virgin

I looked at Snablet: ‘That’s meant to be dead!’… With rope past its sell-by date and plummeting rocks, active breakfast ingredients were the last thing to worry about.

Radon in the Forest

An extended survey into the prelevance of radon gas in the Forest of Dean’s unique mixture of caves and mines is underway.

Measuring Ingleborough’s Stal

The Victorian penchant for collecting and measuring is well known; insects, birds, plants were all grist to the mill. How interesting, though, to discover that stal in Ingleborough Cave was measured in 1853 – how has it changed since then?

When Cavers are Cool

Hypothermia can kill! Here is every caver’s essential reading: how to recognise the threat, and how to deal with it.

Beneath The Scars

A bit of mapwork, some serious effort and … a new cave is revealed in the Yorkshire Dales.

Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons

Cave exploration in China is all the rage; the attraction, though, is simple to see. Gigantic caverns, elusive canyons … and the compelling search for the Hidden River.

Images from the Past

Giant’s Cave

Once again we have a mystery photo from the distant past. Can anyone identify Giant’s Cave?

Quote of the Month: My Life

Darwin’s theories caused a furore, but he was not the only man seeking the truth. Wallace, also, went into the world, suffering hardship as he collected specimens. An interesting man, sleeping out at Porth yr Ogof.

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.
