Description

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

Finding Big …

Even during the pandemic, big things have been found in Matienzo’s underworld.

A Race Against Time

Cavers have at long last entered the Stoney Middleton Master Cave. We have an account of the find and, to place it in context, a catchment area survey of all the region’s caverns.

Lightening the Load

Placing hangers sometimes requires holding a heavy drill in an extremely awkward position, so how about removing the battery to a separate harness?

Cave Rescue 2021

Learn from the year’s rescues: what to avoid, what went right and what went wrong?

At the Boutique Inn

Shepton Mallet CC’s two expeditions to Myanmar have exposed its members to a new culture and caving experience.

The Sherford Discovery

The most significant archaeological find for decades has been made at Sherford Cave Devon.

Write it Down!
Fifty Shapes of Grey

Pete Towndrow is heading underground in the 1960s on a trip that left him hooked on caving.

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.
