I just reverted an edit which changed the cave length from 750m to 1500m. As someone who used to frequent Goatchurch and the other Mendip caves in my youth, I'm certain it is not 1500m long. Its length is referred to in two different Internet articles as being 750m [1][2] and one as less than 1000m [3]. For this reason I stand by my reversion. --Cheesy Mike 08:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that is the length we have a variety of sources for, but there is always further exploration & it would be useful if anyone who knows about recent exploration/discoveries would post here, with a source for the info.— Rod ^talk 08:49, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.ukcaves.co.uk/cave-goatchurch (can be cited as a source). I have contacted Graham Mullan of the UBSS (the club who conducted the new survey). The revised length does not include much new passage, it's just that the old survey was incomplete. New length is 1531.5 m, new depth is 63 m. They even have a published survey here that shows many many more passages than the old survey showed: http://ubss.org.uk/cave_survey_archive.php So while you were right to revert without a source to cite, per Wikipedia rules, there is now a source that you can cite that shows the new length was correct.
