Are you looking for a holiday destination? One of those places that is cheap and offers the chance for some good caving would be ideal. Here's one such group's solution – a trip to Lanzarote.
In 1959 Neil Moss became trapped in a narrow shaft in Peak Cavern; the ensuing rescue attempts drew national media attention and, after Neil's death, a re-examination of rescue procedures. Dave Webb's documentary film, which took a decade to bring to fruition, has received massive acclaim - here is his account of how it was made.
Interested in learning more about an obscure area on the Yorkshire coast, a group of cavers was surprised to find that not only were there iron mines to explore – they were filled with iron formations.
The Health & Safety Executive and the police are conducting an ongoing investigation into a fatal accident in Manchester Hole in 2005. In advance of the inquest and breaking with normal procedure, part of what has been learned so far related to risk assessment in the area has been released and is published here at the request of the HSE.
A new year of expeditions is underway, with some benefiting from grant support.
When an overweight woman became stuck in Cango Cave in South Africa earlier this year, it sparked Steve Craven's interest into finding out how many other incidents had occurred during the showcave's long history.
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.
No customer reviews for the moment.
