Descent Correspondents


Descent relies upon you, the cavers who make discoveries whether underground or in a library, for its content: your magazine is written by cavers, produced by cavers, for cavers. You are its lifeblood.

The following cavers have volunteered to help by supplying news on a regional basis. If you have a piece of news or an idea for an article, please get in touch either with them or, if you prefer, direct to the editor (see the contacts page).

To minimise spam, the @ symbol has been replaced with [at] in the following e-mail addresses.
