Complementing the passage description in vertical bits is a Rigging -Guide.

If you did all that properly, there should be very little left to do in the UK, unless you have volunteered to help with drawing up the final survey. (Fool!) However, it is as well to check that you have done all you can before BCRA conference, by reading the Back in the UK page.
