Description

The Descent Retrospective

The Changing Face of British Expeditions

Our series of ‘retrospective’ articles, looking at changes in caving since Descent was first published, continues with Dave Checkley’s examination of the evolution of British caving expeditions.

Adieu: The British Caver

With its subtitle A Netherworld Journal, The British Caver was published for over seven decades until it finally ceased publication in 2007. It is time to bid farewell.

Caring for Our Caves

Our caves are our heritage; we are their custodians for tomorrow’s cavers, so isn’t it time to put in some effort?

Quote of the Month

Only after a good night’s sleep did the travellers realise that they had not been ‘under the influence of a midnight dream, during all that strange voyage of discovery to the heart of the earth.’

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.
