| Would that be Eldon Hole? Now there's a good free hanging abseil. Well worth a dangle I'd say  |

I didn't even know it existed. Hadn't been opened in my day. I've just looked it up and, well, wow.... |

Yes it is very impressive. There was a documentary last year starring Kate Humble and that climbing fella, Steve someone (sorry forget second name he is on lost world atm) they went round the country starting with the easy stuff Gaping gill I think and eventually end up scaling Titan. They went the long way starting I think in Speedwell or Peak, can't remember which tbh.
I think the caver who re(?)discovered Titan is also present on the Lost world caving team.
Jeez I do miss caving it is something I will definitely like to take up more seriously someday in the not too distant future!
edit -
Just checked the show was called Ultimate Caving. Short clips on youtube. I am sure you can download the whole series but I think I would be breaking the rules if I mentioned anything further here!
