As per the title.

Add/augment/correct/edit accordingly...

Plenty of scope for people to expand on this topic but we can probably leave the minor arcana of obscure tiny connections to one side e.g. Quiddlers Arch, the Avelines Hole dog slot, etc. but certainly caves below would count as worthy Through Trips, please add as you see fit:

Goatchurch Cavern
Rod's Pot/Bath Swallet
Read's Cavern
Hillier's/Fairy Cave
Balch's Cave
Hillwithy/Hilliers (is it open anymore?)
Priddy Green Sink/Swildon's Hole
Gough's Old Cave/Long Hole
Loxton Quarry Cave
Stoke Lane Slocker
Gough's Cave/Milk Cave
Wookey Hole Cave (various permutations)
Withyhill and digs
Thrupe Lane Swallet


Over to the experts....

You can't get to Quarter way up hole from Withyhill as we blocked up the connecting pitch. The link between Quarter Way and Halfway is passable by thin cavers. Also although not permitted is the link between Shatter Cave and W/L cave.

Is it not Loxton cave? The one in the car park is the quarry cave.

Not to be confused with loxton cavern - bagpuss is correct. There are a few 10m long through trips on Sandford hill, but nobody seems to want to connect sludge to passchendaele...

A Hunters lodge Inn (not the sink the actual building) through trip is entirely possible! Discovered that one as a fresher being introduced to the building for the first time. (Some amount of potholer may have been consumed)
