<dd>The printable <a href="prospecting_guide_short.html">prospecting guide</a> or <a href="/prospecting_guide/">new prospecting guide (slow to load)</a> is essential reading before you wander the plateau stumbling across holes of potential interest. Vast amounts of work have been wasted in the past through inadequate recording. It isn't very much extra work, but ensures that your hard work gains some recognition in the future rather than making lots of tedious work and the cursing of your name... There is a separate page with pictures of surface landmarks for <a href="findit.htm">taking bearings</a>, and a new guide to getting a <a href="survey/gps.htm">GPS fix</a>.</dd>

<dd>Once the cave starts to get significant (ie. anything which requires getting changed or rigging), it needs good documentation. This is mostly a matter of doing a cave survey, a guidebook description and usually a surface survey. The first time you go to explore a poorly documented question mark, you will realise how important this is, and it also makes for having a pretty survey on your wall to support your bullshit. For 1998, the surveying guide has been split into easily digestible chunks, including pages specifically intended for people who <a href="survey/what.htm">haven't surveyed before</a>.

The first time you go to explore a poorly documented question mark ("QM"), you will realise how important this is, and it also makes for having a pretty survey on your wall to support your bullshit. The surveying guide has been split into easily digestible chunks, including pages specifically intended for people who <a href="survey/what.htm">haven't surveyed before</a>.
