could only be ticked-off if there was, in fact, surveyable passage beyond it, and if it was worth surveying, and if
someone did so.

<p>In 2022 we had a proposal to add an extra line to the original survex file, now that survex files can be edited
<p>If the new QM is explored but is not worth surveying (e.g. a snow-filled drop which in a later year is seen to be just a pile of snow), then edit the original survex file to repeat the same survey satstion as the "resolution station" and put a comment with the <em>date</em> this was done and a reference to the logbook entry or wallet.
