Description

Everything to Excess

Caving has lost one of the most popular characters to have ever lived on Mendip. His friends pay tribute to digger and explorer Tony ‘J-Rat’ Jarratt.

Proving Martel’s Postulate

The search for a link between Bagshawe Cavern and its resurgence has taken many years, but at last the underwater connection has been made – and a new dig leads onwards into the flow.

Onwards Through The Bellybulger

Since its discovery in February, Cripple Creek, a dry link bettween Ireby I and II, has seen cavers push and push onwards again and again. Even after being trapped by floodwater, they are far from finished with the system.

A Wharfedale Weekend

One of the best attended Hidden Earth conferences in recent years was held in September. Here is the first part of our coverage of this popular event.

A Speleologist and Man of Iron

Jack Myers is perhaps best known for his co-authorship of the classic 1952 Underground Adventure, yet here was a man who knew how to fight adversity and accomplish so much more.

Assessing the Radon Risk

If cavers encounter a high concentration of radon underground, they are unlikely to even know it as the gas is invisible and carries no smell. The latest research from the Peak District is accompanied by advice on how to assess the health risk for yourself.

On Floods and Flooding

When it comes to rainfall and high water, we all know what we should do to avoid becoming another rescue statistic. So why are so many cavers getting it wrong?

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.
