Description

The first full colour issue, with eight extra pages

 

The Three Counties

A significant new link forged in the Three Counties System has produced the impetus for this major article in three parts: the history of the system, the latest breakthrough and where we go from here. Part of the article concerns the connection between Ireby Fell Cavern and Rift Pot and reproduces the latest survey.

Otter’s Memory Lane

A trip to the Hall of Thirty in Otter Hole isn’t that unusual – but this is a special occasion for the person who found the cave.

The Caves of Khaybar

There’s sand and more sand, but Saudi Arabia’s desert contains an estimated 400km of unmapped caves.

Shooting a Classic Cover

For cave photographers, this is how our wrap-round cover was shot.

Unravelling the Lamb Leer Enigma

Access to Mendip’s Lamb Leer has been lost for years, but now a nearby dig holds the hope for a new route into the cave – and its location was predicted four decades ago.

The Descent Caption Competition

Napoleon Comes to Town

Make us laugh and win an oversuit.

Learning from the Manchester Tragedy

The court case involving the death of a schoolboy during a led caving trip has closed: here is the background to the fatality and what we can learn from the incident.

The Credit Crunch Expedition

Not going on a traditional expedition this year? Why not stay at home and take part in an all-hands-on, two-week-long, money-saving digging project in the Peak?

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.
