Description

It’s BIG … for Stoney

Cussey Pot was only discovered this year – not even Covid-19 restrictions could slow down its exploration, which has opened up a massive extension.

Drain That Cave

Tham Luang in Thailand, site of the daring rescue in 2018, has yielded more of its secrets to a 3D laser scan. But what was it like to visit in person?

Land of Hope and Glory

Not only has an extension been made to Wookey Hole, an incredibly significant connection has been dug.

In a League of his Own

Pavel Demidov lost his life to a boulder collapse in Integral cave in Georgia. Robbie Shone pays tribute to the achievements of this astounding caver.

The Sound of the Sea

Exploring the coast of West Wales by kayak reveals a new cave for the registry, and it’s superbly decorated too.

Cryptic Caver

To help while away minutes or hours, we have a cryptic caving crossword with which you can flex your mental muscles.

Lech: 150

It’s time for a celebration: the survey of Lechuguilla Cave in New Mexico has passed the 150 mile mark.

Swildon’s in Flood

In the aftermath of Storm Alex, going caving in Swildon’s Hole seemed an exciting idea.

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.Â
