Description

Rhino Wrestling

When the diggers in South Wales’ Carno Adit broke into the natural cave they knew lay beyond the bricks, they hoped for a major discovery. Over the years since then Carno has not yielded easily, but another chunk now lies beneath the surveyor’s pen.

A Weekend at the Brewery Part II

With a description of cavers entertaining cavers with a pantomime cow and a Boothroyd bag, here is the conclusion to the 2004 Hidden Earth conference report.

The Descent Caption Competition

Chortle at the winning caption: ‘deads’, indeed!

Eco-protection and Inspection

Eco-anchors proliferate throughout the UK, from popular pitches to sometimes obscure corners. Now that these number in their thousands, what should we do if we suspect they are starting to fail?

Viewpoint

The Dilemma of Expeditions

Have we, as cavers, gone too far with our approach to expeditions? Is the Golden Age over? Veteran explorer Dave Gill thinks that perhaps it is time to rechannel our resources.

Cavers Face the Scrapheap Challenge!

If we care for the future of caving, we must care for our caves – and because what lies above ends up, one way or another, below ground, that means an occasional clean-up is in order.

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.
