Connection Fever

Is there no end to the successes seen by this northern digging team? Now we have another connection in the Three Counties System – one which leads nearer to Kingsdale.

Knotty Dangers in SRT

Drop-testing ropes to determine what they will survive is one thing, but when you start testing knots some surprising facts emerge.

Party On!

In June, the British Caving Association had a new approach for its AGM – it laid on a party!

Showcase

The Abode of the Clouds

Expedition photography is not always easy, given the pressures on time and often conflicting aims. With images from Meghalaya in India, Rob Eavis excels in his coverage.

Life Thrives in Draenen

We know that Ogof Draenen is a unique cave, but even apart from its extensive passages, the cave life is proving significant.

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.
