cars, and people coming-from/going-to various places are
daunting. The job mostly involves collating info and badering people
regularly. Starting early saves everyone money. See the explicit <a href="transport.html">transport checklist and guide</a>. </dd>
<dt>Survey marshalling and Kataster chief</dt>
<dd>If the previous expo's survey marshal did a good job then this can be straightforward, otherwise finding and recording the records needed to make sure that survey is in a fit state to support future exploratipon can be heartbreaking and frsutrating. The non-survey data archiving also needs doing carefully, such as curating the list of equipment left at top camp and ensuring that the logbook entries are all typed up and parsed into the expo server.</dd>
<dt>Caving Priorities</dt>
<dd>This should be the fun bit, but thee is a long grind in getting the previous years' survey data and QMs sorted out - the previous years expoers will need a lot of chivvying.</dd>

<p>There are two separate online systems to help you do this.

<p><b>Second</b>, look at the online troggle-generated table of logbook entries and survey trips<br>

<br>
(You need to scroll down past the table of attendees). This expedition report only shows those cave surveys which have been both typed up and entered into the online system, and also only those logbook entries which have been typed up already. So it will not be as up to date as the first method.
<p>The most up to date method is to look in the lever-arch file containing the plastic survey wallets which is kept in the potato hut during expo.
<p>The online wallet system and how it works are <a href="newcave.html#onlinew">well documented in the survey handbook</a>.
<p>
<p><b>Third</b>, and this is for when things seem to be going horribly wrong, look in the <em>scans</em> of the logbook, the bierbook and the callout book in e.g. in <a href="http://expo.survex.com/expofiles/writeups/2018/"><b>expofiles/writeups/2018</b></a> to find any record of trips which are otherwise unrecorded or lost and who was actually on expo on any one day. If even the scans don't exist then there is quite a bit of work to do before you can get on with the survey generation.
