There’s 50m of prime SRT rope on offer, courtesy of Inglesport, if you’ve the wit and humour to win it.
Divers in Wookey Hole – one of the UK’s greatest challenges – have at last made progress towards the elusive Chamber 26, and produced a new depth record in the process.
Sheffield University’s caving club is well established and highly regarded, yet has been systematically shut down by the authorities. It’s back to the thorny questions of perceived risk and, with no medals to win, value to the system. This is a wider problem than it might seem – other societies take note.
A project is underway to record the many marks left behind by T’Owd Man of the Peak.
The 2004 Hidden Earth conference was held at the Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal, as far north as it’s ever been. Here’s the fare that cavers saw.
The British Caving Association came into being at midnight on the last day of 2003. With some cavers still confused and concerned over membership fees and insurance, how has the BCA fared in its first year – and what will 2005 bring?
Jim Eyre has written his autobiography using, for the first time, that most thoroughly recalcitrant of devices: a computer. Read Jim’s account of who won, man or machine.
Yes, Ogof Draenen was discovered ten years ago – doesn’t time fly! A healthy bunch of cavers got together to celebrate the first ten, and look to the next.
The Royal Geographical Society in London kicked off a week’s lectures and field-trips around the UK, set up specially for international visitors as a first of its kind.
Yet again, we learn that caves are where you find ’em with a new extension dug from the side of a major route in Gaping Gill.
If stock is available for all post destinations, selecting any set of options will allow you to place your order immediately.
If stock is limited, for example with a single copy of a second-hand book, it will be assigned to UK stock. If you require posting to an address outside the UK, selecting your options may not allow an order to be placed, even though stock is available. If this is the case, please contact us to enable the options you require.
Please see our FAQs relating to deliveries, and the Delivery page linked from the bottom of each page, before placing your order if time is an important element for your order.
We regret that due to the volatility of Royal Mail postage charges, we have been forced to remove the option for two-year subscriptions. We have also been forced to remove the option for economy mail to the EU, given indications that Royal Mail intends to remove this service.
All international mail is now being despatched in paper wrapping using Royal Mail customs and address labels mandated by them. We also regret this means we can no longer indicate the last issue of your subscription on the mailing sheet or supply a reminder to renew with the final edition. Please track your own subscription ending or check with us at any time. Subscriptions begun since September 2021 have a comment added in your account (under the tab for the order) which records the final issue to be supplied.
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 apply to all orders to the EU.
Ideally, the VAT should be paid at the point of posting, but doing so requires registration with an agent to handle the payments, and this is incredibly expensive and not financially viable. To be clear, all small publishers in the UK are in the same position and we are unable to post any items to the EU with VAT or other duties paid.
Ordering any item from Wild Places, including a Descent subscription, requires that you accept responsibility of paying the VAT and any other local charges on delivery.
To be clear: Wild Places will NOT cover any charges levied by your country; it is your responsibility to accept these when placing an order.
We apologise for the situation, but it is outside our control. We will maintain a link from the left-hand column on the home page with the latest updates. If you are an existing subscriber to Descent and have not replied yet to our enquiries concerning your deliveries, please make contact.
NOTE: Subscribers in Norway or Switzerland (which are outside the EU) should place your order on the Subscription International page or contact us first.
