<p>Make sure that you draw both plan and elevation (the latter should be an
extended section, rather than a projected elevation) for horizontal passage.
For pitches, several plans at different levels may be easiest (rather like
the cross sections at each survey station used in horizontal passage). Also
projected elevations may be useful in addition to the extended section.</p>
projected elevations may be useful in addition to the extended section. But
learning a good set of procedures for using survex is the way to go.</p>
<p>Write a <b>passage description</b>. This should be detailed enough to be
followed by someone in the cave who hasn't been there before, and should
include all passage names, lengths of pitches and climbs, compass directions
when this makes left/right/ahead clearer. If your passage is a connection
it is worth while writing descriptions from both directions. It will be
regarded as helpful if you actually type this description into a computer
rather than writing in the log book - but make sure it can be found again! In
written descriptions, underline passage names the first time they are
mentioned, or when they are "defined".</p>
<p>Complementing the passage description in vertical bits is a <b>Rigging
Guide</b>. This is usually easiest to do as a sketch, but include notes to
ensure that all bolts can be found again, and all natural belays recognised.
Ideally, the knots should be left in ropes removed at derigging, so they can
be <b>measured</b> for the rigging guide. Remember to do this before undoing
the knots for rope-washing. Although a good survey and details of the belays
can be used to estimate the length of rope needed, this is no substitute for
measuring how much rope it actually took to rig!</p>
<p>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
