I've not been to the bottom of Russet Well since I was a teenager but I think it was about 24.5m deep. Maybe Pitlamp has a better idea.
The conduit feeding the Bath hot springs could be as deep as 2500 m.... just depends if it is big enough to fit a diver. Same applies to Buxton or Matlock thermal springs, both could be deep systems.
Langcliffe Pot to black keld is around 270m. So not completely out of the mix. A higher entrance to langcliffe could be found and I’m not sure how deep black keld goes down. Not 30m I suppose.
As ever in these discussions, it would help to know what the OP had in mind.Yes this is the idea I had in my head 😁I'm guessing something like highest peak and deepest cave in 24 hours. If Charterhouse fits the bill for deepest (as in most vertical range without diving), I'd be happy to lead a trip to the end, with a few caveats, like the cave being open again...
Didn't the Eyam borehole in Horseshoe Quarry confirm 1200m of limestone there to a basement of 'some other stuff'? I'm away so can't consult my files but I'm sure it was close. Not that it guarantees cave passage of course but it's a hell of a depth.
Is it?

I took "Is it?" as referring to charterhouse being connected to goughs, which as we were discussing potential at the time, is obviously hydrological, it has not yet been physically done.

I'm still pinning my own hopes on the Malham system.
