Description

Probing Where the Sun Don’t Shine

Year on year, Daren Cilau has seen extensions short and long, blind-ended and excitingly ongoing. However, it is not often that a chamber is entered that contains formations as beautiful as those in Where the Sun Don’t Shine.

A Tribute to Colin

Colin Pryer tragically died in Low Birkwith Cave while cave diving in March. His friends write of their memories, their tributes.

The Rescues of 2004

Here are the British Cave Rescue Council’s statistics for Britain and Ireland’s 2004 callouts, plus a comparison with those from France. Read and learn what not to do!

In the Chamber of the Gods

Owl Hole in the Peak District was once described as a pit filled with rubbish and lost to cavers. Cleaned up, bit by bit it has yielded to a series of digs.

Boireau’s Memorial

A number of memorials were erected to commemorate those who died in Mossdale Caverns in 1967, but it seems that one plaque to Geoffrey Boireau remained unknown to cavers.

Descent into the Peculiar

The Channel Islands might not be your first thought for where to go for an interesting underground experience, but there’s plenty to keep visitors happy in a wealth of tunnels left behind after the German occupation.

Stealing the Jewel of the Underground

Filming for a new BBC television series, British cavers have seen some of the best underground scenery in the world in New Mexico’s Lechuguilla Cave.

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.
