It is essential to stress that LVS has very much been a team effort involving a considerable number of people over the last fifty years. ATLAS invested a lot of time and effort in this site in the early years, and 350 working trips have been logged since the present team started work after the entrance was re-opened in 2013, to prevent the Cheddar Gorge road being closed by flooding. The main players since 2013 (in descending order) are listed in the Power point presentation photo above. To date LVS is 1,000m in length, 126m deep and unusually for a Mendip cave offers 13 pitches, the biggest being Colossus at 37m. The cave is too wet and flood prone to work safely in the winter months. A full article on the history of LVS will be published in the future.
