 <h1>Cambridge University Caving Club Expedition Handbook</h1>
 <p>The pages which make up this handbook were originally based on the paper documents you might find lying around the Potato Hut or Top Camp. These web pages are now the master documents. They should tell you everything you need to know about Expo. Please update them/add info as required.</p>

 <dd>The printable <a href="prospecting_guide.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...

 <dd>You fall and break your leg &ndash; probably need a little help to get out of the 	cave ? How would you feel if everyone at this stage took the rescue guide into 	Hilde's bar and started reading about what to do ? Not a happy prospect, is it 	&ndash; so in the hope that it is <strong>not</strong> you who gets hurt, we suggest you read 	  this <strong>now</strong> so you know what to do.

+<h1>Windows 7 How-to No.1:<br>TortoiseHg and Putty</h1>
+
+<p>Struggling to get TortoiseHg to work on Windows (Service Pack 1,
+32-bit)? Here’s a quick guide which I hope explains how to sort it all
+out.</p>
+
+<p>You first want to ascertain that both <a href="http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.org/">TortoiseHg</a> and <a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html">Putty</a> are nicely installed. Then run Putty;</p>
+
+<h2>Putty:</h2>
+<p>Upon opening putty, you’ll be greeted with a screen similar to this;</p>
+
+<div style="text-align: center">
+<img src="expoPuttyscreen.png" alt="Putty Configuration Screen" />
+<p class="caption">Putty Configuration Screen</p></div>
+
+<p>Type <tt>expo@expo.survex.com</tt> into the box under Host Name, and type a
+name into the box under 'Saved Sessions' then click 'Save' (in the
+above case called 'Expo' – this means you don’t have to type in
+expo@expo.survex.com each time you use Putty. You simply click on
+'Expo' then 'Load'). Then click 'Open'.</p>
+
+<p>You will then see the following screen:</p>
+
+<div style="text-align: center">
+<img src="expoPuttyscreen2b.png" alt="Putty Login Screen" />
+<p class="caption">Putty Login Screen</p></div>
+
+<p>Don’t worry if you can’t see anything happening onscreen as you type in the password, this is what’s supposed to happen; so just type in the password and press the return/enter key.</p>
+
+<p>Done! At some point you may come across a Windows popup which asks
+you to verify the address you're attempting to log into (at which
+point you select 'hells-to-the-yeah', or equivalent). You have now made sure that your computer is happy to log on using TortoiseHg. To log out of Putty, type 'logout', then press the return/enter key.</p>
+
+<h2>TortoiseHg:</h2>
+
+<p>To open up TortoiseHg, simply open a folder somewhere on your desktop (you can make a new folder if you want, to keep things neat), and right click in the folder and select “Hg Workbench”</p>
+<div style="text-align: center">
+<img src="expoWorkbenchopen.png" alt="Accessing the Workbench" />
+<p class="caption">Accessing the Hg Workbench</p></div>
+
+<p>Once this opens up, go to File>Clone Repository, and you should get the following;</p>
+
+<div style="text-align: center">
+<img src="expoRepositoryScreen.png" width="75%" height="50%" alt="Hg Workbench" />
+<p class="caption">Hg Workbench</p></div>
+
+<p>At which point type <tt>ssh://expo@expo.survex.com/loser</tt> into
+the 'Source' box (in this case I have specified a particular folder on
+the server; 'loser', I suggest you do the same for now). You may also
+choose where you want the repository to be created by clicking
+'Browse' next to the 'Destination' box. As far as I recall, you don't
+need to edit anything in the box where it says 'Hg command'. Click 'Clone'!</p>
+
+<p>Voila! If you're now looking at the following screen or similar,</p>
+
+<div style="text-align: center">
+<img src="expoRepositoryScreen2.png" width="75%" height="50%" alt="Hg Workbench Linked" />
+<p class="caption">Hg Workbench Linked</p></div>
+
+<p>All is well.</p>
+
+<p>If anything seems unclear, please email me at elmo2058@gmail.com, and I will reinstall things on my own machine to see where things get confusing. Watch this space for another webpage/update with how to install/use WINSCP for straightforward file transfers.</p>
