Description

THIS EDITION IS PRINTED ON CARBON-BALANCED PAPER, A RENEWABLE RESOURCE

With eight extra pages

Blacknor’s Back Door

Two more caves have been connected on the Isle of Portland in a significant discovery for the area.

The Rescue

A feature-length film about the lauded cave rescue in Thailand premiered in October – but how did it stand up to scrutiny?

The Grand Traverse

Decades after it was first proposed, and years after the caves were connected, for the first time the Three Counties System has been physically traversed in a through-trip.

Discoveries in Crag

No matter how well worn the passage, more can always be found – in this case not one, but three extensions to Crag Cave.

The Underground Crossword

Nothing serious, a bit of fun, a means of whiling away some time over the festive season with a caving crossword puzzle.

The Llethrid Saga

Access to Llethrid Swallet on Gower has been regained, revealing not only much mud, but beauty too.

Viewpoint: Our Access to Caves

Caving on open access land should be our right, cavers say. But Pete Glanvill wonders what the cost is and will be.

In the Founders’ Footsteps

The Cave Diving Group is 75 years old, so its members celebrated in style.

The Descent of Alum

With a fine old photograph of Alum Pot in hand, its owner would like to know more of its history: who took it, when and why?

Five Lives of a Caver

Cavers change; they experience different lives. Five of them, it seems. The question is: which have you evolved into?

Win a Petzl …

If you can answer three questions correctly, you could become the new owner of some fine Petzl kit.

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.
