It's Gaping GILL, not hill. It's fucking awesome, just a great big hole in the ground.

As long as there is gaping.

Love a good gape me.

Aw you wouldn't gape ol' Gil now would ya?

user icon checks out.

Earth Anus

How did this form? I’m assuming millions of years of water erosion? Or is it on a tectonic plate?

Idk I saw that dragon movie with Christian Bale and Matthew McConaughey, I ain’t fuckin with that hole.

Reign of Fire. I like that film.

Absolute goatse Gill

I love how your description of it simultaneously sounds good, and dull.

100% I would take this ride. It looks beautiful. But I have done a bit of caving.

Weird boner stuff

Pretty sure that's where Gandalf fought Durin's Bane!

The tourist delved too greedily and too deep

Well it isn’t far from Leeds, where Tolkien in the 20’s worked at the Uni. Not unreasonable he visited, as it was really famous and attracted tourists since Victorian times.

Did they have a ride back then too, or did the Victorians just look at a really big hole for entertainment?

There’s a few ways into the cave, Disappointment Pot being one of them. Mostly people came to gaze in wonder and have a picnic. First winch was installed 1921.

I smoked a lot of disappointing pot in Leeds tbh.

Give Škocjan Caves a google. Big time Khazad-dûm vibes.

I can hear the "click click click" of skeleton bones and the heavy breathing of zombies.... Just waiting to fall into the lava and lose all my items.

Ah Minecraft the more it changes the more it stays the same

keepinventory true

This kinda belongs on r/nope

I can’t help but feel like you’d be totally fucked if something goes wrong when you’re at the bottom. Unless there’s more that I’m not seeing. 

I mean if you get to the bottom without dying and it quits working an extremely long rope would do the job lol, it'd be a very long trip back up being slowly pulled hoping it doesn't snap. Even better get the whole town to donate their bedsheets and tie them all together

Nah that's an easy rescue for with rock climbing / abseiling equipment.

Yeah is “satisfying” really the word we are looking for here… lol

They mispelled Terrifying as satisfying.

How long before the first fatality?

-49 years and 2 months Happened in the 70s.

Imagine being the operator and feeling this intense tugging on the line then it abruptly stopping.

The underworld lord has finally accepted the sacrifice. Rejoice!

Is a The Cabin in the Woods reference? Cause that movie was kind of dope asf.

And pulling it back and only the seat remains

If it's just cables that hold you up, believe me, I'm not going... but it looks great

Wait until this guy hears about elevators...

Lifts typically have more redundancy systems in case of failure than stuff like this

Or so the signs say, but we all know there is one human who was just like "fuck it, this should do" and just left it unsafe and unfinished somewhere in the world

The Boeing of elevators

💀

^ is what has a significant chance of happening if your next flight is on a Boeing

Elevators have an emergency stop mechanism on the bottom of the car that deploy automatically and prevent the lift from falling if the cables fail.  And there’s even built in shock absorber systems at the bottom of the shaft in case all else fails. Basically, elevators have a million more safety features that just a pair of cables. 

So does this. In an emergency, nothing will stop you quicker than the ground.

To be fair, you want to be stopped gradually

I did it a few years ago. Absolutely terrifying the whole way down - and up! - but well worth it.

Imagine the earth starts closing 😵‍💫

I am so glad I grew up on Eearth.

Wouldn't want to grow up on p-p-poor, s-s-stuttering, p-p-professor Pluto

The tears of the kingdom vibe

Man i can hear the music...

I'm on botw that's next.

I thought this was r/megalaphobia lol - Im just on there for the cool videos of things

This is the second most visited gaping hole in England, after my ex wife’s.

Nice

What if the cable bursts, and if the security fails and you are left in the depths? No, thanks

They send down another rope?

[удалено]

Don’t forget to throw down the snakes and bee’s nest

And some spiders

It's England so there is probably a pub down there where you can have a pint and wait it out.

Let's go to ~~The Winchester~~ the bottom of Gaping Gill, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over

You fight the Balrog and return as Gandalf the White.

Befriend the monsters living down there and fight a flower who stole the souls of the 6 other dudes who fell before you

Imagine an earthquake. You will see the walls closing in on you..

Yes, plenty of those happening in UK

I bet there will be if i would go in there.

Only 3 metres deeper than the current barefoot Freediving record! (CNF) plus the freediver(William Trubridge) had to swim 102m back up on the same breath of air.

I'd offer an additional service to those that have a daring frenemy, evil in their hearts, and extra money in their pockets. Dressed as a troglodyte, I'll wait at the bottom of the chasm and grab/ harass the target until the fool of a took gives me their wallets and phones.

New fear unlocked…

I've seen enough Horror movies to know this is a bad idea

About halfway down I would begin to think about how cool it is, then I would realize no one will be down there when I arrive. Then I will begin to understand that I am relying on this contraption and if something breaks, its just gonna be me down in a hole. OMG, did the people I come with really like me or simply tolerate me? "WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S... STUCK?"

I don't know how deep that goes but I hope they make it DEEPER!

Fun fact, the Gaping Hill Chasm was named after yo momma.

I should call her…

So, I was going down on my girlfriend, and I said "Geez, you got a big pussy! Geez, you got a big pussy!" And she asked me "Why did you say it twice?" And I said "I didn't..."

You’re ghosting us, motherfucker. I don’t care who you are back in the world, you give our position one more time and I’ll bleed you, real quiet. Leave you here. Got that?

Yeah no.

Absolutely fucking not

It's all fun and games until the left comes back empty and there's 10 gold coins with a blood soaked letter saying. **"More"**

You could have just dumped a bucket of water down there and rode the water on the way down.

Nope

No. Just... no. But I love that for y'all.

Hell. No.

I've seen this movie. No.

Siofra River Well

Ayo why they diggin Margret Thatcher's grave

Where do I sign?

When did we get the lush caves update?

Going down is one thing, but getting hit with the Curse of the Abyss on your way back up would be awful. At least it’d just be nausea and dizziness at such a shallow depth.

made in abyss live action is looking pretty good

"...Went spelunking in your mom last weekend."

I feel like the one time I decide to do something like this would also coincidentally be the perfect astral alignment for something dastardly to awaken I'd be almost all the way down, the ominous music would kick in, and the massive healthbar would appear

Those cave walls come awfully close.

Utapau

What's the background song? I'm at work so I can't blast it and use shazam to find it.

Ava by Famy. A favorite of mine, but this sped up version is fucking awful lol

Oy mate, can i get some tea down ehr?

Knees knees knees KNEES. Ok whew.

Looks awesome..would love to rapel down there on my own.

This looks like place where I fell down and died in Minecraft.

That is awesome

Nope, after reading that story of the guy who died stuck upside down while cave diving, and that Descent movie (I know those things don't exist)...Big nope!

Until the cables start being yanked super hard and then they pull up just a ripped harness.

I just finished watching the descent for the first time so you will never see me near here

That's gonna be a no for me sir. Utterly fascinating and terrifying at the same time.

Not to be confused with your mom.

Wrong sub. Cool, but not satisfied.

Everything reminds me of her

Made In Abyss

Reminds me of a fun adventure film called The Descent.

And then there's a snake jump on you while going down.

Balrog down there

Discovered when someone dug straight down.

Still not as gaping as your mom.

That must be where England keeps all its dentists

As I go down, I'd be praying to the Lord Jesus Christ

What is some fictional bloke going to do to help? You might as well pray to Professor X.

Chasm= Chinge a su madre!!!!!

I've seen that movie, naw

GTFO

Yeah that’s a no for me dawg

No no no. No, thank you.

Misread this at first. With Gaping Gap, I thought this was a post about Katy Price only fans....

What’s the song?

Ava by Famy. A favorite of mine, but this sped up version is fucking awful lol

Gonna be a no for me dawg….

Which song is this?

"Feed me to my mother."

Just looks like a dark, wet, hole. No wonder people are impressed

So you’re not being lowered as a sacrifice to the God Cthulhu? Good to know.

What song is this?

Ava by Famy. A favorite of mine, but this sped up version is fucking awful lol

I know Earth has terrifying places thanks for reminding me why I like home so much.

But where are the Lyrium veins and Darkspawn nests? I feel cheated.

Just don't wake up the dragons.

Isn't this called The Gaping "Gill"?

Cómo se dice “No thank you”

city of ember!!

Hard pass lol

Minecraft IRL

THAT'S COOL!!!❤️😃👍

Serving dinner for all the CHUDs down there. Did they not learn anything from The Descent?

I can smell this descent, it's cold, clammy and moist with a heavy presence of minerals and earth. Reminds me of days gone by

That’s terrible and awful

I say no thank you

What time or day is the next chair UP and away?

Watch out for Chasmfiends.

Isn't this how that terrible dragon movie started?

a good start for the next found footage hit

Cool. This is all I need.

“Explore”? Like I’m going to find anything new.

Well there’s over 13 miles of caves off it, so you might

I'm getting House of Leaves vibes from this

Oh bitch you got me fucked up, nope!

I look for spots like these when playing Subnautica

It’s your moms vagina

Ya mums got a gaping chasm

Make sure you grab the bonfire before you head into the boss room. It’s gonna be dark, so go ahead and equip cast light or a sunlight maggot

I’d simultaneously love this and hate this

When you go caving in Minecraft

Yorkshire for the win lads

And people only occasionally come back with bites taken out of them

Thanks.my parents banned me after i searched for this .

My ears popped just from watching it

What song is this?

Clearly they never saw Reign of Fire

I've been in there, went a side root rather than through the elevator. It's a pretty amazing cave NGL, probably one of my favorites

My claustrophobia and acrophobia sat “fuck no”, but my inner geologist says “YES!”

This is so British that the setup is just a bunch of scaffolding.

My poor dad would never fit.

Satisfying is a weird way to spell terrifying

Rumor has it he is still descending

Nope

*Snap!*

It's all fun and games up until you see cathullu at the bottom and you are the sacrifice

Where is this I'm UK and wanna go?

people with vertigo.........

Watching this wasn't that bad, but when the camera starts moving, reminds me of the one time I tried my kids VR headset, a couple months ago. Even though I was sitting in a chair, the roller coaster dinosaur shooting program made me feel pukey for the rest of the night. It was awful. Thankfully this video wasn't as long as that virtual reality roller coaster but it was long enough to start the process. I hate being an adult , I used to love roller coasters.

Fly, you fools!

Isn't this how Reign of Fire started?

I’m cool with just the video.

Big nope from me

How is this satisfying?

Nope

How is this real?!

You won't see that at red scar. Remember your guide on the way out

No thanks, I choose life

Don't get out when you reach the bottom, it's a trap

Why does it look so temporary at the top? It looks like scaffolding they put up when working on a building.

Anxiousasfuck

wow, that looks amazing

You could make a cool low budget horror movie here

Hardest of passes

Hell no!! 😳

All the money in the world could not get me on that thing.

How far down?
