Huw Groucutt said:Can't they just open in when they are not digging. They can't be digging every day surely, or even every sat and sun! After doing something like that its fair to expect a few tourist trips.
Huw Groucutt said:isnt there another gate somewhere to get to peak cavern? Or is that from the Speedwell connection?

Titan Rescue - January 2004.
On the afternoon of Sunday 18th of January a novice caver from Manchester experienced difficulty and became stuck on the pitch above Titan's Event Horizon. DCRO were called to assist. Another party who were in the cave came across the situation and managed to haul the caver up to the top of the pitch and into the surface shaft connection. From there they were winched up the entrance shaft to the surface. A potentially difficult situation was averted by prompt assistance from other cavers.
As a result of the incident the relatively relaxed access arrangements available to cavers wanting to visit Titan have been revoked. Concerns have been raised with regard to the ease of access to what is a relatively serious undertaking. A resolution is being sought but this may take some time. Titan always has been, and still is, an active exploration site.
Titan is big (in case anyone hadn't noticed!). Anyone planning on going there should seriously consider what is involved. If 475ft is difficult to visualise go and stand at the gates of Hope Cement Works and take a close look at the chimney. It's about 50ft shorter!
