Cavers have been digging in Water Icicle Close Cavern for over twenty-five years, seeking a route through the choke at the end. Finally, there’s been a breakthrough ...
Some very different designs of LED lights come under scrutiny: the caver-built Troglite and the new Petzl upgraded range of Tikka and XP headlights.
CHECC has held another of its annual caving weekends, this time to the tune of heavy rainfall and flooding caves.
The sump beyond Toad Hall in Australia’s Cocklebiddy Cave had held up progress for long enough: it was time to push onwards to the utter limit of cave diving.
The second part of our major report on the 2009 Hidden Earth conference. Here are the lectures on recent overseas expeditions, many of which are previously unreported.
Alan Jeffreys returns to our pages to look at the loss of our humble weapon in the armoury of descent: the electron caving ladder. Rant on, our Goon!
A cave monitoring scheme has been running in the north of England since 2008 and is soon to close down. So what’s all that about, then? What has been learned, how might we still help?
Outrageous! Research leads cave divers to an entrance sump, only to find that they can gain access to open passage by mere swimming. Damn, damn, damn: they only wanted to go diving, not discover a cave! Join Artur and Al as they explore Creevy Cave in Ireland, finding they were not the first to be there by a long chalk.
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.
