On 1st January 2022, Gracie and I set off to descend the largest cave shaft in the United Kingdom - TITAN. This video shows our journey from the top to the bottom and includes a brief history of Titan as well as some insights on what it is like to be in such a huge cave, deep underground.
Corrections:
1) The entire entrance series, *including* the horizontal shaft was man-made, not just the vertical shaft.
2) Titan was *originally* discovered on 1st Jan, 1999. It was never accessed by miners and the reference to a shaft in a diary was to Leviathan, a nearby shaft in the same system which was discovered before Titan.
3) The bottom of Titan never forms a lake, even in very wet conditions, as the water sinks entirely through the boulder choke.
Thank you to those who have pointed these out.
