Description

The Bomb on Greenhow Hill

Digging across the years revealed, and lost, an immensely beautiful chamber near Stump Cross Caverns in the Yorkshire Dales. With landowner permission, to say nothing of sweat and expense, digging the aptly named Grenade Shaft has opened the void once more, albeit briefly. Here is a story of digging, bombing and gasping at this beauty of the underworld.

It’s a Dirty Job, But …

The Republic of Panama is not usually the first country you think of for a caving expedition. However, with a boat-owning Brit in residence, this was more than enough to encourage a Mendip caver contingent to take flight to explore the hot, steamy jungles (and beaches) of Panamanian islands in search of caves (and beer).

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.
