I really can't remember any of this without reading
the stuff on the website - but that stuff is available to
everyone (unreliable memory is exactly why this stuff
was all put there - but in the early days, which would
cover the 115 period, we naively thought we would
remember everything, that the same people would be
going back, and that we didn't need to write everything
down - though actual surveys were properly recorded).

Where survey data was corrected for fridge north, that
should be recorded in the survey notes. That was such
a bizarre correction that I don't think it would ever have
been done without explaining it. The Futility series survey
had two compasses, Suunto 422903 and Chas' Silva 15T.
Had there been a major discrepancy between them, I
think they would have noticed. The bearings seem to
be the same in the Survex dataset as in the notebook.
ie. the first leg is 8.08 m on 320 at -11.5. That's from the
dataset extracted from CVS in 2001 (which is the oldest
I can find in a quick search here). I don't think corrections
to fridge north would have been made more recently
than that... 075 to Trisselberg cross is the same as the
notes, and even if the 115 entrance wasn't located
precisely, that ought to be enough to show if the error
was more than the odd degree or two.

Not sure if the scans of this notebook are on the site.
Notes are a bit muddy, with no passage walls recorded.

Traversed round Toto chamber on a false floor to the continuation into conintuation of free attic flys called phreatic becomes meander rift, (bolted) and dind a large opening with left and right junction (very false floor) called odious odium. Taking a right turn along the false floor leads to a vast floor now called Ulysses (after the Frans Ferdinand song Michael was singing). Yet to be dropped due to its very unstable nature. Did some gardening but a lot of work needs doing. Left turn at odium, leads to a true floor, leads to multiple boulder chokes and meander in approximately the direction of Ulysses with short pitches not dropped. More photos on the way out. Michael gets ill. Wees a lot.
<p> lots of pee, very loose, less ice than last year, lots of key-hole passage.
<p>Still to do (by Mike Butcher):
<p>- Drop pitch from entrance chamber to bypass ramp and climb of ice plug pitch = more direct.
<p>- Investigate meander at end of windy tube (?c)
<p>- Possible alternate route opposite pendulum pitch (?c)
<p>- B. Boulavard rope needs changing (40m)
<p>- Leads in Benign Bubble Baby Bypass needs looking into
<p>- Drop 15m at far end of B. Boulavard

<div class="triptitle">Balkon - Cathedral Kazam - Wild Honeycomb shaft - The Hangman</div>
<p>Spent over an hour trying to calibrate top Camp's collection of distox's (my two, CHECC and ULSA). I won with 0.35 and 0.5. Luke at 0.65 was way off and two Distox's refused to pair with George's PDA. Eventually underground and swiftly to Kathedral Kazam. 2 traverses were still in but short pitch needed rigging. Luke then rigged Wild Honeycomb shaft. Ash has - audaciously - rigged this off naturals last year but it hadn't been surveyed, leaving George and Rachel's Nature Calls surveys at the base floating. George and I followed Luke down surveying, with Luke concerned he'd taken the wrong route, but all was well.
<p>At the base, there's a sort of horizontal level which we rigged a short pitch down (7m) and then what George and Rachel had done as a 13m chimney down which Luke and I declared a pitch. This led to a ledge with a vast, perched boulder next to it. The Hangman.
<p> the pitch had a massive echo and stone rattle. We drilled the pitch head spits but were out of hangers, so headed out.

<div class="triptitle">Balkon - Wild Honeycomb shaft - The Hangman - Hangman's Daughter - <b>Tunnock's Connection</b></div>
<p>Luke was off-colour so George and I returned to the Hnagman and I rigged down the pitch then we surveyed it to a spacious ledge, from here the shaft continued (offset) but it looked damp and we were keener on the horizontal otions - a window visable part way down The Hangman's Pitch and, from the base, a climb up on the left and a traverse to the right to s vhossy climb.
<p>George went for the latter option, and got up via some shonky bolts, boulder balancing and clambering. The entered what we've called Hangman's daughter. I followed and we surveyed into what initially looked really unpromising: narrow, catchy, little passage.
<p>However, it took a draft. We surveyed a loop round (given that George had scooped it) then got to the only proper lead, a small pitchead topped with mostly nasty perched boulders. George heed kicked quite a few down leaving a small hole. We only had one hanger and I dithered about whether to use the massive flake as a backup but used it in the end. The ~15m pitch led to a small chamber. I climbed to the bottom where a ?c crappy hole led down and then -!!!-
<p>noticed a survey station! WHat the hell? I shouted to George who bombed down, forgetting to bring the Dostox so I had to go up the hideous rubby pitch to fetch it. After some searching, George found another station, 7, and we finished the survey. Then tried to work out where the survey had come from. Some shreds of an oversuit on a tiny tube 3m above the floor of the chamber gave it away. The draft through had coated it in catchy popcorn. We took our SRT kits and tried to crawl through, but George didn't want to commit to going headfirst (I told him I couldn't be able to fish him out). He couldn't get through feet first so we gave up and headed out, finishing off the survey of the traverse on the way. At the top section of the Hnagman's Pitch 1 realived the rope had got hooked over a hideously sharp flake of rock and crystal. I wailed at George and down [prossiked until I could un-weight the rope and he could free it. Argh.
