<h1>Expo 2005: Surface work hitlist</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This is essentially a QM list for surface work, combined with a
|
|
|
|
|
documentation to-do list, intended to record things that need exploring or
|
|
|
|
|
surveying outside our main target caves. This list is maintained by Dave, as
|
|
|
|
|
kataster administrator.</p>

<li>Jenny and Olly did a day's surface prospecting walking from the 76 bivi to

the local high point roughly to the West. Unfortunately the GPS randomly reset

and lost the coordinates so caves 2004-05 to 09 need relocating and tagging.

2005-06-24 03:52:31 +01:00
