Description

The Urge to Explore

Activity in Longcliffe Mine has continued since we last reported on progress two years ago – with some impressive discoveries made to date.

Painting with Light

Light painting in photography is an old technique, but rarely in caving can it ever have been used to reach this level of the art form.

How Many Cavers?

From time to time the question arises: how many cavers are there? Here is part of the answer, with an analysis of numbers active in Europe.

Memories of Draenen

Mike Simms looks back at his experiences of many years spent in Ogof Draenen, from its exploration to formulating theories of its genesis.

Call of the Depths

Imperial College CC’s expeditions to Slovenia’s longest cave, Sistem Migovec, have yielded yet more discoveries. Klic Globin awaits …

Nothing Quite Like It …

Northern England has seen another breakthrough in Jenga Pot – and a major, significant find at that, even if it does involve a degree of mud.

Absent Friends

With great sadness, we must bid farewell to long-time cavers Fred Davies, Helen Farr and Andy Farrow.

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.
