is complicated and needs some thought, whereas anyone can fill out this paper data sheet immediately.
<p>The Cave Tag Number is the identifier on the aluminium tage (if mounted at the entrance) e.g. <var>2050-BH-03</var> if it is the third cave disovered by Dr. Bunsen Honeydew on the 2050 expo. This encodes the year of discovery, two letters, usually the unique initials of one of the discoverers, and a serial number for caves discovered this year by that person. <br>Note that this identifier must NOT end in a LETTER. It must end in a DIGIT. Only entrance identifiers end in a (lower-case) letter. Cave identifiers must end in a digit.
<p>Usually the paper sheet will be put away in the same plastic wallet as that used for the underground survey notes
and sketches of the newly-discovered cave, and the entrance location will be entered as GPS coordinates.

<p>Occasionally, an entrance is discovered during a surface survey, and no underground exploration is done, in

<p><span style="font-variant: small-caps;">NEW in 2026: </span> Write down the distance and compass direction taken from the GPS point to the entrance to the cave: to where the tag is, if there is one. This will usually be 5 to 10m. Use <a href="/handbook/computing/phonecompass.html">the compass app</a> in your phone and a <a href="/handbook/survey/gps.htm#surface-leg">bit of string</a>.
