Description
So Near Yet So Fawr
It’s been hard work, but a major depression in South Wales is finally yielding results.
Gear Review
Scurion Headlamp
Caver-designed and caver-built, how does the Scurion handle the dark?
Gentleman of the South
Mike Thompson’s name was not as prominent as that of some cavers, yet his caving life was inextricably linked with a broad sweep of UK exploration.
The Parallel Universe
There’s mud and there’s mud – at least, there seems to be enough to entirely fill an alternate, Parallel Universe in Notts Pot II, deep beneath Leck Fell.
Gear Review
Warmbac Daren Bag
A new tackle bag has been designed specifically to stand up to the rigours of Daren Cilau.
The Expeditions of 2008
Once again, British cavers are heading overseas; here’s the details of the year’s expeditions.
Caving’s Hour of Exercise
It’s part three of our major report on the annual caving conference, Hidden Earth 2007.
Malkins, Fairies and Hobthrushes
Also named for a wildcat, a pair of archaeologists and mythological beings, this is the cave of Moking Hurth revisited.
A Half-century Underground
A number of clubs have reached their half-century; it’s Oxford’s turn to commemorate its first fifty years underground with a trip back to their very first cave.
The Link with Link Pot

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.
