The Beck drops 110m from the moor into Gaping Gill Pothole, Britain's largest cavern, and the fall of the Beck into the pothole is Britain's highest unbroken waterfall. Gaping Gill was first descended in 1895 and the way through to the outlet passages at Ingleborough Cave was eventually discovered in 1983. www.yorkshirenet.co.uk /clapham   (502 words)
