Description
A Grand Day Out
When diggers passed the sump in Sell Gill Holes they thought they had broken into new passage – but then found it had been discovered in 1937. At the end of the streamway, however, there was a choke …
An Incredible Number
Since its launch in 1998 Caving.UK, where you will find Descent’s presence on the web, has gone from strength to strength and now draws an incredible number of cavers to its pages.
The Hidden Resurgence
When another army cadet died in Porth yr Ogof in 2002 (with a court case against the instructor pending), it seemed time to further publicise the dangers of the resurgence pool. As a part of the education process, a short underwater film has been made.
Lazy Days in Transylvania
Fancy a caving holiday abroad? You might need to look no further than an organised trip to Romania.
Not So Clumsy Cavemen
The popular cartoon image of ‘cavemen’ is of clumsy savages hunting animals, yet we find their delicate artefacts hidden underground. Modern research shows how dextrous they really were – while at the same time scholars argue about dates and concepts.
Swimming with King Cobras
‘Snake! Get out of the water.’ A symbol for King Cobra is not the sort of thing you generally find marked on a survey, but perhaps there’s an exception for Thai caves.

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.
