Description

Dog Cams and Sound Bites

A major BBC television programme about caves has been made, due to be screened in August. Here is the story of how the project was planned and filmed.

The Man of Friday the Thirteenth

Twenty years ago, on a solo trip, Watty pushed Penyghent Pot’s Friday the Thirteenth Series to a conclusion; it was a bold, hard undertaking. Tragically, Jon Watt died young: here is his tribute.

Crocs, Docs, Critters and Caves

An expedition to islands off the coast of Panama has proved fruitful, even if the local fauna might have thought otherwise.

The Destruction of the Robey

Reports of the loss of mining artefacts and buildings are all too common, and now two more have been destroyed. Mining historians will mourn the loss of the Robey Incline in North Wales.

Speleovision: Panoramas and Giants

From the UK comes a new film about pushing Spain’s Sima GESM, while from the USA is a new departure: a set of stunningly beautiful panoramic views of Carlsbad Caverns and Lechuguilla Cave that can be viewed from any angle, as if in the centre of a sphere.

Blind Date Caving Anyone?

Are caving clubs failing to attract newcomers to the sport ? What of the internet and its prevailing influence? If you simply want to get underground, what’s a girl to do?

The Bottom Line

Oh Let My Books Be Then the Eloquence …

Perhaps faced with limited funds or simply overenthusiastic editors, caving clubs regularly seem to discuss whether to issue their journals as electronic files, consigning paper to oblivion – but not if Alan Jeffreys has a say in it.

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.
