Description

Caving’s Hour of Exercise (Part 2)

Here is the continuing report on the National Caving Conference, Hidden Earth, that began in Descent (199).

Hunting the Heights of Miao Keng

Unable to help himself, despite all he suffered in 2006, Rich Gerrish is back in China – determined to climb upwards above a half-kilometre-deep shaft.

Farewell to Jim

Another of caving’s characters has left us: we say farewell to caver, climber, author and reporter Jim Lovelock.

Up the Creek in Inlet 14

Given all our modern equipment, exploration – when it comes down to it – still depends on the right never-give-in attitude. Even if it almost kills you.

Descent’s Competition 200

Your challenge was to write something personal about your caving career: we can now announce the winner and you can read and enjoy the winning entry.

Safeguarding Our Future

Our speleo heritage is being gathered back together from far-flung corners of the country. David Judson writes of the plans being laid to set up a national caving library and heritage centre.

Connections II

South Wales and the 1960s: an area rich in exploration fever, in particular making the connections between the different parts of Ogof Ffynnon Ddu. How Top Entrance was discovered might surprise you.

The Descent Retrospective

You Mean You Actually Used That?

To help celebrate our 200th edition, Descent asked several cavers to write about changes that have taken place since it began in 1969. The first, by Alan Jeffreys, takes a close look at our equipment: this is how it used to be!

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.
