<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>

<h3>Stuff near 76</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>I know nothing about this beyond what is in last year's logbook; apparently,
|
|
|
|
|
owing to Olly's GPS rather usefully forgetting all the coordinates, a bunch of
|
|
|
|
|
caves found in 2004 (2004-01 to 2004-09 inclusive) need refinding, along with
|
|
|
|
|
several older caves such as 108 and Tantalus Schacht.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2005-05-21 16:42:49 +01:00
|
|
|
<p>(Actually the logbook only explicitly mentions 2004 caves 2, 5, 6, 7 and 9,
|
|
|
|
|
but 1, 3, 4 and 8 presumably exist as well — ?)</p>

|
|

|
<ul>
|
2005-05-23 19:58:40 +01:00
|
|
|
<li>Re-finding, re-photographing and generally improving documentation for
|
|
|
|
|
caves in the vicinity of Eishöhle – various caves need retagging
|
|
|
|
|
(see <a href="../2004/kataster2004.html">here</a>), and 2001-06 to 2001-12 have
|
|
|
|
|
no location data at all.</li>
|
2005-05-21 16:41:04 +01:00
|
|
|
<li>Sort out confusion over <a href="../../smkridge/157.htm">157</a>, <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="../../smkridge/bogen.html">Bogenhöhle</a> and other caves near laser
|
2005-05-23 19:58:40 +01:00
|
|
|
point 0/5. (Can easily be done en route to 204, or a few minutes walk from 76
|
|
|
|
|
bivvy.)</li>
|
2005-05-21 16:41:04 +01:00
|
|
|
<li>Retag <a href="../../plateau/2000-aa-01.html">2000-AA-01</a> (middle
|
|
|
|
|
plateau 200m north of Top Camp) with proper kataster number when this has been
|
|
|
|
|
allocated.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Survey <a href="../../plateau/171.htm">171</a>, which is near 2000-AA-01,
|
|
|
|
|
and is apparently quite long (>100m) although not very deep.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Wander round Kratzer valley with a tagging kit and a decent modern GPS, in
|
|
|
|
|
the hope of relocating <a href="../../kratzer/71.htm">71</a>
|
2005-05-23 19:58:40 +01:00
|
|
|
(Fledermaushöhle), which is quite a substantial cave (347m long, 95m deep
|
|
|
|
|
– by far the biggest of the Kratzer caves). It was surveyed in some
|
|
|
|
|
detail way back in 1976 but no surface survey was made so we don't know where
|
|
|
|
|
it is.</li>
|
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="../../plateau/1996_05.html">1996-05</a>. This is some way to the
|
|
|
|
|
west of 204, in the large empty gap of northern plateau north of the usual
|
|
|
|
|
limit of prospecting from old Top Camp and west of the SMK ridge, and is a
|
|
|
|
|
substantial undescended shaft; time could profitably be spent looking for holes
|
|
|
|
|
in the surrounding area, which is largely virgin territory.</li>
