Description

Connections

It was the 1960s and a time of discovery across South Wales. Forty years ago the connections were made and passages in Ogof Ffynnon Ddu unfolded, ripe for exploration.

Descent Competition 200

The gauntlet is laid down: can you tell us something personal about your caving career? If the answer is a simple ‘yes’ and your anecdotes are unrivalled, a flight in a Tiger Moth awaits you.

A Fresh Pair of Eyes

The further reaches of Mendip’s Wigmore Swallet have not attracted much attention over the past decade or so – descriptions such as ‘demanding’ and ‘contaminated’ did little to encourage exploration. However, with a fresh pair of eyes looking for a way on, where there’s a will there’s a way.

A Giant Leap for a Frog

Dig, dig, pedal, pedal. Yes, the tri-cycle spoil removal mechanism has paid off: at last, a breakthrough in Scotland’s Rana Hole.

Caving’s Hour of Exercise

A huge number of cavers turned up to enjoy the Hidden Earth conference weekend – where they were even encouraged to take more exercise!

Bliss of Casterton Fell

Ron Bliss, cave photographer for half a century and more, died a few days before his eightieth birthday, thus missing the rightful acclaim his latest work has drawn. Here is his tribute.

The Gully Cave Question

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.
