Hidden Earth 2024
Descent at 300
45 minute Lecture|Chris Scaife
Abstract
The October 2024 edition of Descent will be issue 300. Founded in January 1969 – when a first edition could be paid for with a half-crown coin, the Beatles were still together and humans had not yet set foot on the moon – Descent has been a huge part of the caving world for over half a century. This presentation brings together the current editor, Chris Scaife, and former editor, Chris Howes, to be interviewed on stage by our North correspondent,
Frank Pearson, about the past, present and future of the magazine of underground exploration.
