Description

The Lost Pothole

The Lost Pothole by Showell Styles is arguably one of the best fiction stories for children on the subject of caves that was ever written. The caving experiences portrayed are 'real', with diagrams of equipment used as well as superb cave illustrations drawn as pen-and-ink sketches. This is a superb story and rightly known as a classic, written at a time when Penyghent Pot was the deepest in Britain. The publisher's statement is:

"Young Anthony Carter didn't expect to become involved in a dangerous pot-holing rescue and treasure hunt when he joined his two friends on the rain-sodden Yorkshire Moors. Perhaps his greatest feat was conquering his own nature fears when plunged into another 'element'."

Styles was a prolific author (some 160 books) and experienced mountaineer, explorer and expedition leader, including to the Himalayas and the Arctic. The Lost Pothole is based solidly on real adventures. You may also have some fun identifying the real names of slightly mutated fictional ones in the story. This is the less common first edition published by Brockhampton Press.

STOCK ALLOCATION

Our goods for advertised for sale with postage costs included; selecting the destination other than the UK will alter the price, to take into account the increased carriage charges. 

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, you will not be able to place this order, even though stock is available. We regret this, but the software has limitations. 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.

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, VAT is charged within the EU and the tax (potentially plus a handling fee) now apply to all orders to the EU.

We are unable to post any items to the EU with VAT or other duties prepaid; as a small company, it is a long way outside our abilities to engage with an agent to do so. All items are therefore mailed as DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid). Ordering any item from Wild Places requires that you accept responsibility for paying the VAT applicable in your country 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. Refusal to pay charges upon delivery will not be accepted as a reason for refunding in full any returned items.

NOTE: Norway and Switzerland are outside the EU and orders will be filled as normal.
