Not been to the end for a couple of years, I normally turn around at Jet Pitch to save carrying the ladder! From the conversations at the annual leaders meeting, I don't think anyone else has been to the end for a very long time... Real shame, as it's a great cave...mikem said:Not that anyone has been to the bottom for quite some time!

Or 219 m to the sump - the rest is underwater.

Not wishing to be pedantic or controversial, but Wales is part of England, and has been since the campaigns of King Edward 1st in 1283.

I realise that is not without controversy!

According to my old copy of COPD, it's 693 ft (211 m).A_Northerner said:I once heard that an oft-overlooked contender for "deepest trip" would be a theoretical trip from Maskhill Mine down to the bottom of East Canal (the ~30m depth of East Canal included). Can the might of UKC's corrective nature crunch the numbers on that one to see how deep that would be, entrance to bottom?
I know it won't count as the deepest cave, as Maskhill is a mine, and not even deepest trip, as other mines are deeper.
Benfool said:Consulting the Peak/Speedwell 3D model, the Top of the Titan entrance shaft (and pretty much the top of the entrance shaft of JH) to the bottom of Main Rising, is 267m - which would make it deeper than the 3CS (if the 249m value on Wikipedia is to be believed). However both the Titan and JH entrance shafts are artificial, so it would seem wrong to count them - there are much much much deeper mines in the UK (1400m depth!!).
The very top of Titan, to the bottom of Main Rising is 237m - which would make it slightly shallower than the 3CS. The deepest you could do without diving would be 166m.
